The Caregiving Compendium: Policy Solutions to Support Family Caregivers

The George Washington University and the LeadingAge LTSS Center at the University of Massachusetts Boston will hold a virtual congressional briefing exploring the challenges facing family caregivers and legislative solutions to better support them.

Designed to help policymakers across the political spectrum identify legislation solutions that better support family caregivers, the Caregiving Compendium brings relevant federal proposals together in one resource.

Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Katie Britt (R-AL) will provide opening remarks for this virtual briefing.

Speakers:

• Allison Barkoff, Director of the Hirsh Health Law & Policy Program, The George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health
• Marc Cohen, Co-Director, LeadingAge LTSS Center at UMass Boston
• Jason Resendez, President & CEO, National Alliance for Caregiving
