Medicaid Changes and Veterans Issues

2026 Dole Caregiver Fellow Serena Guimarey from Las Vegas, Nevada discusses her role as a caregiver for her father, Paul Dannenberg, who served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. His exposure to Agent Orange during the war has contributed to numerous serious health conditions, including cancer, dementia, diabetes, hearing loss, tinnitus, and neuropathy. Serena has long been a source of support for her dad, but she feels she truly became his caregiver when she welcomed him into her family’s home to support him around-the-clock. Serena also discussed what it means to have been selected as a Dole Caregiver Fellow in this year’s class.
