"If you love somebody, you will be a caregiver. If you live long enough, you'll need one." --Peter Rosenberger Now the 65.7 million caregivers in America, making up 29 percent of the U.S. adult population, can turn to one of their own for encouragement and renewal. With three decades of experience and immense credibility, Peter Rosenberger offers proven practical help with biblical truths.
About the Author
With his characteristically contagious and outrageous humor, Peter Rosenberger often tells his radio audience that he is the "Crash-test Dummy of Caregivers!"
For the past 30 years, radio host, author, speaker, accomplished pianist, and black belt in Hapkido, Peter has personally traveled the path of the family caregiver. His wisdom and insight are hard won, and wryly shares that he "...has had ample time to make virtually every mistake one can make as a caregiver!"
In an unparalleled journey with his wife Gracie, he has navigated a medical nightmare that has mushroomed to 78 operations, the amputation of both of Gracie's legs, treatment by more than 60 doctors in 12 hospitals, 7 medical insurance companies, and $9 million in medical bills.
This experience unquestionably qualifies him as an expert as a caregiver and has made him a most ardent champion for the family caregiver, providing him with an astonishing understanding of health care issues and a deep compassion for others. His infectious humor and candor brings freshness, hope and laughter into the painful places of caregiving. He regularly speaks on a wide range of topics that include healthcare and finances, caregivers in the workplace, facing adversity, thriving as a caregiver, and family relationships.
Earning a Bachelor of Music from Belmont University, Peter is an accomplished pianist and often incorporates his expressive style of music into his presentations as he entertains, inspires, and challenges audiences from all walks of life.
Since 2013, he has carried his message of health and hope for the caregiver to the airwaves, hosting his own weekly show on 1510 WLAC (IHEART) in Nashville. His latest book, Hope for the Caregiver (Worthy Inspired, October 2015) provides practical tools and encouragement for the caregiver. The book soon heads to a fourth printing, and it also recently returned for a third time to #1 caregiving book on Kindle.
Targeting America's 65 million family caregivers, Peter founded Caregivers with Hope, with the goal of not just making family caregivers feel better, but offering them the tools and empowerment to be better. Drawing upon Peter's 30 years of experience as a caregiver, Caregivers with Hope offers clear, proven, strategies and tools to guide caregivers towards a healthier lifestyle in every facet of their life.
In addition, Caregivers with Hope provides invaluable tools to counselors, clergy, medical practitioners, employers and businesses faced with addressing the needs of the caregiver. Peter also serves as the president of Standing with Hope Inc., a nonprofit evangelical prosthetic limb outreach to developing countries.
Peter and Gracie reside in Nashville, TN.
