Every year, on the third Friday in February, we celebrate National Caregivers Day—a day dedicated to honoring the healthcare professionals who provide long-term and hospice care. Caregivers offer essential services to individuals facing chronic illnesses, disabilities, or end-of-life care needs. Their compassion, dedication, and expertise give families peace of mind, allowing loved ones to focus on healing and meaningful moments rather than medical responsibilities.
Beyond individual caregivers, organizations play a crucial role in supporting, employing, and empowering caregivers. Some offer employee wellness programs, caregiver support benefits, and professional training to ensure these unsung heroes receive the recognition and resources they deserve.
Let’s spotlight organizations making a real impact in caregiving—whether through direct care services, advocacy, or workplace support programs:
