About the Cancer Caregiving Collaborative
The Cancer Caregiving Collaborative, powered by the National Alliance for Caregiving, is a multiphase cross-sector initiative to address the unmet needs of cancer caregivers through research, policy change, and practice change. Notably, there are many important and longstanding cancer-related efforts, however, family caregivers are not the primary focus. The Collaborative serves as a consistent forum that convenes and mobilizes cancer and caregiving ecosystem stakeholders.
Aligned with NAC’s mission of improving the lives of family caregivers, the Collaborative focuses on uplifting and supporting family caregivers in cancer care. The Collaborative works to ensure family caregivers are valued members of the cancer care team and champion policies to ease the financial burden of cancer. By addressing both the health team integration and financial aspects of caregiving, this initiative strives to create a more comprehensive and equitable cancer care system that recognizes and supports the invaluable contributions of family caregivers.
