Jacqueline Marcell Jacqueline Marcell was so compelled by the experience of caring for her elderly parents (both with Alzheimer's which was not properly diagnosed for over a year)--she gave up her career as a television executive to become an advocate for eldercare awareness and reform. Her passion resulted in a best-selling book, “Elder Rage” and a popular Internet radio program “Coping with Caregiving”; hundreds of radio/television appearances; widely publishes articles and an Elder Care Blog; media including CNN, TODAY, Woman’s Day, Prevention, and the cover of AARP Bulletin (circulation 22 million); and over 100 keynotes--including replacing Maureen Reagan at the Governor’s Conference for Women, and to the Florida House of Representatives. Jacqueline says her mission is to enlighten healthcare professionals how to better help the families they work with, and to provide solutions and hope to families. Jacqueline is also a breast cancer survivor who advocates that everyone (especially caregivers), closely monitor their own health. “Elder Rage”, a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, is required text at numerous universities for courses in geriatric management, and is also being considered for a feature film. Over 50 endorsements include: Hugh Downs, Regis Philbin, Dr. Dean Edell, and the National Adult Day Services Association—who honored Jacqueline with their Media Award. The National Association of Women Business Owners honored Jacqueline with “Advocate of the Year” at their Remarkable Women Awards.
