Caregivers are our most passionate of patient advocates. We need to advocate for them too.

The Caregivers Count campaign recognizes and honors the diverse experiences of caregivers. Because many people don’t see themselves as “caregivers,” they overlook essential support services that may ease their caregiving experience.
Many people help sick or debilitated loved ones because they believe that is what is expected of them as a family member or friend. However, assuming the role of caregiver is so much more than kinship or spending time together; it involves undertaking a myriad of unplanned or extra actions to support and maintain someone’s health and quality of life.
Helping people recognize and acknowledge the caregivers in their lives and connecting them to relevant resources is the heart of this campaign. Here are actions you can take right now to support caregivers in your community.
