Founder and Executive Director of UPTOHIM® Care Management and UPTOHIM® Ministries
Committed to educating, equipping and supporting individuals, families, faith communities and care communities, Ms. Viale founded UPTOHIM® Ministries in 2009. Building upon the Ministry’s educational and spiritual care programs, Sherylynn desired to also support the practical needs of care givers as they face the day-to-day concerns and challenges that come with providing ongoing, compassionate care to loved ones. As a care giver to her parents, she has learned first hand the requirements of caring for individuals suffering from cancer, heart disease, Parkinson’s, dementia and Alzheimer’s. Through UPTOHIM® Care Management, individuals, families, and faith communities are able to receive assistance with community placements, end of life pre-planning, medical advocacy, home care, legal assistance and much more.
Ms. Viale is a trained advocate with the Alzheimer’s Association and has been a member of Life Transitions Alliance, as well as the Education and Resource Committees of the Arizona Caregiver Coalition. Ms. Viale is also a conflict and life coach, mediator, speaker and writer who is passionate about encouraging, exhorting and equipping individuals to live empowered lives. She served for several years on the Board of Directors for Southwest Behavioral Health Services in Phoenix, Arizona, and is a licensed attorney who practiced in the areas of elder law, probate, estate planning and estate administration.
