Health Systems
Building A Family-Centered Future
The nation has begun to recognize the essential role unpaid friends and family members play in supporting individuals with ongoing health and care needs. Yet these informal supports systems are not sufficient to support the many Americans with care needs. Caregivers need support to continue to provide care and to care for themselves. Recognizing the value – the contributions, the expertise, the economic and health impact – of what caregivers do, as partners in innovation, is a key part of creating a more equitable, person- and family-centered health care system.

COVID-19 Transition to Traditional Coverage 101
The COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) originally declared by the U.S. Government on January 31st, 2020 will officially expire on May 11th, 2023.
While there are changes to the regulatory framework surrounding COVID-19 health measures, the end of the PHE is the beginning of a longer process of moving toward traditional coverage and payment, likely commencing in the fall.
Developed by the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) and the Adira Foundation, this infographic, the COVID-19 Caregiving Framework, depicts key points of crisis for caregivers during a global health emergency.
This platform, a collaboration between the National Alliance for Caregiving and the Adira Foundation, provides support to caregiver stakeholders by offering meaningful resources to support state, local, and national public health efforts as well as practical resources for families. The site allows caregiver stakeholders to submit resources to ensure the content improves and grows in the direction family caregivers and those who support them need.
