Advocacy & Policy
Policy Agenda
Family caregivers are the backbone of our nation’s healthcare system and economy, strengthening our communities and families. With more than 63 million family caregivers providing complex care for family and friends across our country, in every state, and every community, the need for meaningful action has never been greater.
Our policy work is anchored in the belief that caregivers are essential to our families, healthcare systems, and economy — and deserve systems that truly support them. We seek common ground while advocating for our core belief: family caregivers deserve better, more supportive systems of care that make family caregiving more sustainable, equitable, and dignified.
Caregiver Nation Coalition
The Caregiver Nation Coalition unites partners across aging, disability, patient advocacy, and caregiving sectors to drive meaningful policy change for America’s 63 million family caregivers. Anchored in the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers, the Coalition is a platform for collaboration, aligning efforts across sectors to turn national family caregiving priorities into action at the federal level.
Caregiver Nation Network
The Caregiver Nation Network, powered by the National Alliance for Caregiving, unites caregiving leaders across ten states in a shared mission to improve support for family caregivers. By uplifting state leaders, we are building a movement to change policy, systems, and culture to better support family caregivers.
