Shield HealthCare’s 22nd Annual Caregiver Story Contest is an opportunity for SHC to honor all caregivers – paid and unpaid, professional and family – who care for loved ones managing unique medical needs. Caregiving is not always something we plan for, but when a person is called to care, they find the motivation to meet the physical, mental, and emotional needs of their loved ones.
This year, we’re asking...
What Motivates You to be a Caregiver?
While it often brings passion, joy, and personal growth, caregiving is not always something that is planned for. Helping others through the highs and the lows of their health care journey can be challenging, but when a person is called to care, they find the motivation to meet the physical, mental and emotional needs of their loved ones. Whether you are a professional caregiver or caring for a loved one at home, we want to know: what motivates you to be a caregiver?
These are just some suggestions – there is no right or wrong answer to how caregiving motivates you. We invite you to share your story with us in 300 words or more.
Please submit a 300-word (or more) typed entry. You must include your name, mailing address, and 10-digit phone number. One entry per person. The contest begins November 1, 2024, and ends January 31, 2025. Entries must be submitted online with confirmed receipt by January 31, 2025. At least one independent party will judge the entries. Previous winners and Shield HealthCare (Shield) employees are ineligible. Shield may publish and use submitted content for publication at no cost. Shield will notify contest winners by February 2025. Other restrictions apply.
