Hundreds joined in as we CELEBRATED CAREGIVERS throughout Arizona! The Rally helped create public awareness of the immense importance of informal, unpaid caregivers to our public health care system. As Arizona's population ages at a rate never seen before, and as baby-boomers begin to retire in huge waves, the role of informal caregivers will only increase!
- Estimated value of unpaid caregiving in Arizona - $5.6 BILLION! - Approximately 3/4ths of all in-home care is done FREE! - CAREGIVERS DESERVE our SUPPORT and NEED RESOURCES! |
