SUMMARY:Strengthening Complex Care Through Family Caregiver Integration
DESCRIPTION:Life-saving treatments—such as organ transplant and cancer therapy—represent major clinical milestones\, but they also mark the beginning of a demanding and long-term caregiving journey. Across many areas of care\, family caregivers quickly become essential partners\, managing complex medication regimens\, coordinating frequent appointments\, monitoring symptoms\, and supporting daily recovery needs. These responsibilities continue long after discharge\, shaping long‑term wellbeing\, and influencing health outcomes over time. \nGrounded in transplant and oncology\, this session will highlight why integrating caregivers and supporting their psychosocial needs is a strategic imperative for health systems—improving patient outcomes and strengthening care delivery. The insights shared apply broadly to many serious and chronic conditions that require high levels of care coordination and caregiver support. Together\, we will explore both the clinical importance and the business case for supporting family caregivers as essential members of the care team. Participants will also receive resources for implementing or enhancing caregiver support programs. \nRegister

SUMMARY:The New Landscape: HR1 and What's at Stake for Family Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:With the passage of H.R. 1\, the definition of “community engagement” has fundamentally shifted\, creating a new and urgent challenge for the millions of family caregivers who rely on Medicaid. While the law technically includes an exemption for caregivers\, the burden of proof and the technical hurdles of verification threaten to disenroll those who are already providing essential\, unpaid care. \nThis webinar\, hosted by the National Alliance for Caregiving\, dives into the technical and political realities of H.R. 1 through a caregiving lens.  We will examine the “pain points” of implementation—from the lack of automated verification for caregiving hours\, to the administrative strain on state agencies.  Featuring experts from across the caregiving ecosystem\, we will provide a comprehensive look at how states are navigating these new mandates. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Strengthening American Families: Programs & Policies to Support Family Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:Family caregivers are the backbone of our nation’s healthcare system and economy. With more than 53 million Americans providing care across every state and community\, many important federal programs offer family caregivers – and those they serve — a variety of support in order to keep their loved ones at home\, versus having to move them to costly institutional care. With the proper support\, many family caregivers can continue to work and care for their family members in a way that offers higher quality\, personalized care\, dignity and “choice” for the individual. Whether it is a parent caring for a child with complex health care needs\, or a sister caring for her brother with intellectual disabilities\, or a son caring for his father with Alzheimer’s disease\, they all need support. \nJoin the National Alliance for Caregiving – and partners from across the care continuum – for a briefing on some of the key federal programs that family caregivers rely upon. Join us on June 12th as we discuss how family caregivers receive support from Medicaid\, Medicare and the Older Americans Act. \nRemarks by: \n\nJason Resendez\, President and CEO\, National Alliance for Caregiving\nScott Bane\, Senior Program Officer\, The John A. Hartford Foundation\n\nPanelists include: \n\nRachel Richards\, Senior Vice President\, Careforth\nBryn Ceman\, Caregiver Programs Specialist\, Greater Wisconsin Area on Aging Resources\, Inc.\nRachel Conant\, Executive Director\, Alzheimer’s Impact Movement and Senior Vice President\, Public Policy\, Alzheimer’s Association\nStephanie Monroe\, President\, The Wrenwood Group\, LLC\n\nModerated by: \n\nDaniel Rutherford Wilson\, Senior Director of Government Affairs & Advocacy\, National Council on Aging\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Gaps and Opportunities: Family Caregiver Programs in U.S. Transplant Centers
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC)’s ongoing advocacy and research efforts to improve support for transplant caregivers\, building on recommendations from the report\, Transplant Caregiving in the US: A Call for Systems Change. Family caregivers are the “unsung heroes” in the transplantation process\, managing waitlists\, providing long-term follow up\, assisting with complex needs\, and navigating healthcare systems. Despite these challenges\, they often go unrecognized and lack adequate support and resources. \nDuring this webinar\, NAC will share data from its latest report titled Gaps and Opportunities: Family Caregiver Programs in U.S. Transplant Centers\, which examines the policies and practices for identifying\, assessing\, and supporting family caregivers across transplant centers. The data reveals that while 70% of transplant centers offer at least one type of caregiver support program only 3% of centers conduct regular caregiver assessments. The report also issues six recommendations to ensure that family caregivers are supported throughout the transplant journey. Participants will hear from healthcare experts\, advocates\, and family caregivers about the vital role caregivers play in transplant care. This discussion will be tailored for a variety of audiences\, including transplant center providers\, patient advocacy groups\, policymakers\, and researchers to highlight the need to recognize and support family caregivers to improve patient short- and long-term health and quality of life outcomes. \nAttendees will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the role of family caregivers in the transplant care\nLearn about the availability of family caregiver support services based on a national survey of transplant centers\nIdentify the gaps and opportunities for improving support for family caregivers\nExplore the current transplant delivery system reform efforts and their impact on family caregivers
