Why National Caregivers Day is an opportunity to address important issues

In looking over my past columns, I realize there is one particular topic that I address every year. 

It’s the celebration of National Caregivers Day, which occurs on the third Friday in February each year. It is dedicated to raising awareness of the important role of family caregivers, bringing caregiving to the attention of the community and employers and developing a strategy to support unpaid caregivers. It’s an opportunity to celebrate and honor those who care for loved ones.

Caregiving affects an increasing number of us.
