I Care… Non-Profit Partners
I Care… Non-Profit Partners
Non-profit partners and patient advocacy groups play a vital role in Caregiver Action Network’s efforts during National Family Caregiver’s Month and throughout the year.
These organizations amplify our message, extend our reach, and help us provide critical resources and support to the millions of caregivers nationwide. Their collaboration allows us to connect with diverse communities, advocate for caregiver needs, and offer valuable tools and services that would be impossible to deliver alone.
Whether through joint campaigns, shared expertise, or direct outreach, these partners help caregivers receive the recognition, guidance, and encouragement they need to continue their essential work.
Their dedication strengthens the caregiving community and enhances our ability to make a lasting impact.
