A Commitment to Caregiver Support

The Caregiver Resource Center was founded thanks to the vision of local philanthropist Jim Theisen, who experienced firsthand the challenges of caring for a loved one. Opened in 2021, the Center reflects his hope that no caregiver should feel alone. Jim generously donated $1 million to establish an endowment to help fund the Center, which continues to thrive with support from community donors.

"No matter what caregivers need—even if it’s just a hug—this Center will be there to provide it."
