PRESENTED BY

According to a recent study, there are an estimated 5. 5 million military caregivers in

the country. The estimated cost of these uncompensated caregivers, who are family

members providing physical care and emotional support to veterans, reaches into

the billions of dollars. Yet, they are often overlooked and have a tough time getting

adequate support.

Join POLITICO on Thursday, October 17, for a deep-dive conversation on the policies

and proposals that could help improve the military caregiver experience.
