Roberta Carson President of Zaggo, Inc.

I started Zaggo, a nonprofit organization, to help patients and Family caregivers manage illnesses and injuries, after caring for my teenage son Zachary during his 27-month battle with terminal brain Cancer. My Caregiving experience led to a passion for helping patients and family caregivers be engaged, empowered members of their medical teams to help them get the best healthcare and outcomes possible.

I have won several awards for my work, including a recent "Visionary Award" from Caregiving.com, and a "Website of the Year Caring Award" from Caregiving Years Training Academy.
