The Family Caregiving Collaborative at the University of Utah, in partnership with the Family Caregiving Institute at UC Davis Betty Moore School of Nursing seeks to prepare the next generation of nursing professionals to recognize, value, and support family caregivers. Our mission is to advance the inclusion of family caregivers throughout nursing education, ensuring nursing students are prepared to embrace family caregivers as key members of person-centered and family-centered healthcare teams.
