Behind patients with serious illness and disability, stands 63 million U.S. family caregivers. That's 1-in-4 U.S. adults. Check out these new stats and more in the newly released 2025 Caregiving in the U.S. Report by the @NA4Caregiving: caregivingintheus.org/#

Lucky to get a front row seat at a brilliant #gerionc @SWOG symposium led by @EnriqueSoto8 @CUCancerCenter. Terrific talks & even better panel discussion incl experts @efratdotan, @minasedrakmd, @VirginiaSunPhD, @ParaJyotsana & #DavidBZhenMD.
