Happy National Caregivers Day 2021!
Today is National Caregivers Day! Falling on the third Friday in February, this day is meant to honor the millions of caregivers who work all over the world.
Around the nation, dedicated health care professionals serve those who require long-term or hospice care. They provide vital services, reassuring patients and the families who care about them.
Unfortunately, not everyone who works as a caregiver get paid for their contributions. It has been estimated that over 30+ million people provide unpaid care to someone over the age of 18 who is suffering from a serious illness or is disabled.
Caregivers deliver a variety of duties from personal care to medical services with compassion and professionalism. Their days are often long and demanding, but they provide invaluable support to those who need it most.
The celebration recognizes caregivers who provide quality, compassionate care every day.
