About

In the United States, 20 million family caregivers provide support in the home to loved ones with complex health needs, playing a critical role in their care. To do so, they must navigate unfamiliar health systems while seeking out support, guidance, and instruction. Join AARP and other industry experts for a discussion of best practices for including family caregivers as an essential part of the care team, and why creating a culture of family-centered care is good for everyone, including the hospital bottom line.
