Published: April 22, 2020, midnight

COVID-19 Puts Spotlight on Recognizing, Thanking and Supporting Caregivers: Until recently, there were 44 million caregivers in the United States. Now, in the midst of a global pandemic, we are all caregivers. Caregivers include medical teams, grocery workers, truck drivers and others - working to find balance, trying to perform at work, while not jeopardizing the care provided to their loved ones. In this episode of HealthChangers, we spoke with two people who are working to provide caregivers the support and recognition they need to perform well amid some of the most challenging conditions they’ll ever face. Peggy Maguire leads Cambia’s companywide palliative care and caregiver strategy, and Alex Drane is the co-founder of Archangels, a national movement recognizing and honoring caregivers.
