RAISE Family Caregivers Act Signed Into Law

The Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC) applauds President Trump's signing of the Recognize, Assist, Include, Support, and Engage (RAISE) Family Caregivers Act into law, and is looking forward to working with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to implement its provisions. Under the RAISE Family Caregivers Act, HHS must develop, maintain, and keep up to date a National Family Caregiving Strategy that will provide resources and educational opportunities to family caregivers throughout the U.S. The National Family Caregiving Strategy is to be developed by HHS in consultation with a new Family Caregiving Advisory Council. The RAISE Family Caregivers Act advances C-TAC's mission to support family caregivers, and the organization praises the leadership of Congress, AARP, and the many stakeholders and C-TAC members who contributed to the law's enactment.
