Across America, unpaid caregivers are quietly unraveling—emptying retirement accounts, skipping medical appointments, and crying behind closed doors between meetings. They include the working mother caring for a father with dementia, the executive who has already spent $50,000 on care and still cannot afford the support his wife needs after a devastating stroke, and the 9-year-old helping his wheelchair-bound dad after school. These 63 million Americans, including 5.4 million children under 18, face financial, physical, and emotional strain without the support needed to protect their health and well-being. With rising costs of care, an aging population, and a national mental health crisis, the urgency has never been greater. This panel will confront the reality that America’s care system is broken, explore caregiving at every life stage, highlight the consequences of neglecting caregivers, and identify bold actions that health systems, communities, and policymakers can take to build a future where caregivers are supported, seen, and protected.
