Steven C. BargCEO/Publisher
While living in Charlotte, NC, Steven became a long-distance caregiver for both his father and grandfather who were living in Miami, FL, His father had developed four different kinds of cancer and his grandfather was living with Alzheimer’s Disease.
He clearly defined the role of being a long-distance caregiver when he said, “The secondary caregiver is one step away, so it is important to be supportive of both the patient as well as the primary caregiver.” Steven was appreciative when his mother, who was the primary caregiver, would allow him to play a part in the caregiving. The significant role he played in the family prompted his brother, Gary - CMG’s Chief Executive Officer, to create the first series of articles on long-distance caregiving in Today's Caregiver magazine.
The impact his caregiving experience had on his world view inspired Steven to leave his nearly twenty year career in shopping center property management and join his brother on taking on challenge of creating a community of caregiver support. His goal is to help educate and support family and professional caregivers around the country.
Since joining Caregiver Media Group in 2000, Steven has assumed the role of Chief Operating Office of the organization and has become a noted educator, national host and speaker on caregivers rights and roles.
