A new report from the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine indicates nearly 18 million people are caring for a family member age 65 or older. And that number is expected to mushroom, as baby boomers reach that age. Health reporter Marlene Harris-Taylor kicks off the new Be Well series: Derailed by Stress, with a look at caregiver stress on two Northeast Ohio families. 

Plus, Nature's Bin in Lakewood flips the open sign to closed -- permanately.
