Across the country, millions of people wake up early, take time off work, and stay up late to support loved ones with health conditions or disabilities. Many shoulder these responsibilities unexpectedly and without pay or training. The circumstances and situations vary, but despite differences in education, geography and finances, they have one thing in common: when life’s twists and turns upend everything, they answer the call to help. They are caregivers, and our nation depends on them.1,2
In 2020, 53 million caregivers helped friends and family members.1 With the number of people over 65 projected to reach 73 million in the U.S. by 2030, the demand for caregiving is set to increase.1 So is our responsibility to help them.
While caregiving can be deeply rewarding, the demands can take a toll on caregivers’ health, emotional well-being, and finances.1 But informal and family caregivers are not alone. At Pfizer, we are committed to helping caregivers find solutions to the diverse challenges they face every day.
