The Second Annual Caregiver Resource Expo, featuring exhibitors representing an assortment of agencies, services, and useful products, will take place on Thurs., April 7, 2005 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the EconoLodge in Lenox (formerly the County Inn), 130 Pittsfield Road, Rts. 7 & 20, Lenox. The Expo is co-sponsored by Elder Services of Berkshire County and the Berkshire Alzheimer’s Partnership.
The program includes a light supper with time to visit exhibitors’ booths, and a presentation by Dr. Mark Liponis, M.D., Corporate Medical Director of Canyon Ranch Health Resorts.
At the conclusion of the Expo, a panel of professionals will be available to answer questions about the specific services that are available throughout Berkshire County.
As Medical Director of Canyon Ranch, Dr. Liponis combines his skills as an experienced physician, communicator, and visionary. He uses an integrative approach to promote the health and well being of his patients, using natural therapies and lifestyle interventions. His consultations have encompassed a wide range of health care issues, including the prevention of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, depression and inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.
