About the Prince George’ssenior Provider network

Prince George's Senior Provider Network improves the care and quality of the lives of seniors by providing them with education and resources through collaboration with community agencies and or-ganizations. PGSPN is comprised of organizations that are dedi-cated to providing services to seniors in Prince George's County.

The group was birthed out of an overwhelming need to provide the senior population, their families and providers with resources that affect daily living.

In 2002 First Baptist Church of Glenarden became the official site to host our monthly meetings. The planning committee decided to include speakers who are respected and qualified local professionals in the county to speak on timely and important topics that address issues in the senior community. This became an invaluable vehicle for networking opportunities between service providers, healthcare providers and senior care providers and thus… the Prince George’s Senior Provider Network grew.

In 2008 we started hosting ‘Caregiver Symposiums’ for the se-nior community. The symposiums are designed to provide up to date resource information and address the needs of our seniors and their families. In partnership with the community our symposiums have grown each year.

In 2010 a website and signage materials were created to represent our presence in Prince George’s County and provide ongoing infor-mation. We started the process to become a Non-Profit organiza-tion. Visit pgspn.org for more information.

Family Eldercare Management assists seniors and their families with the challenges of the aging process. Geriatric Care Managers are trained in issues related to aging. We provide assessments, resources, referrals, education and training.

Workshops are facilitated by two trained leaders, one or both of whom are non-health professionals with a chronic disease themselves. This program is especially helpful for people with chronic illness, as it gives them the skills to coordinate all the things needed to manage their health, as well as to help them keep active in their lives.
