How Leading-Edge Health Systems Integrate Family Caregivers

AARP Public Policy Institute and The John A. Hartford Foundation held this important discussion with health system leaders and experts innovating on hospital front lines in support of family caregivers. Family caregivers are doing more complex care at home than ever before. New challenges often arise when these family caregivers find themselves navigating a health system. As an often unrecognized yet critical member of the care team, they need support, guidance and instruction. Hear from leaders who have prioritized addressing the challenges that family caregivers face.
