What is the care provided by family caregivers financially worth?  We discuss the value of unpaid care in America, how this value is beginning to be recognized or properly supported and what listeners can do to help make sure it is.  

"Susan C. Reinhard is the chief strategist emeritus for the Center to
Champion Nursing in America, a national resource center created to
ensure that America has the highly skilled nurses it needs to provide care
in the future. Previously, she was a senior vice president at AARP, directing
its Public Policy Institute (PPI), AARP’s focal point for public policy research
and analysis at the state, federal, and international levels. She also led
PPI’s Family Caregiving Initiatives."
