Hilarity for Charity (HFC) is doing groundbreaking work to raise awareness and drive change for family caregivers, especially those navigating care journeys impacted by Alzheimer’s. Through advocacy, education, research, and community, they’re making a lasting impact on the lives of countless families—from those who have been navigating caregiving needs for years, to families and young people just starting out on their caregiving journey. We're enormously proud to work alongside HFC in this mission and thrilled that our co-founder and CEO, Lindsay Jurist-Rosner, is now a part of HFC's Advisory Board! Looking forward to so much continued impact together!

This super fascinating piece by Carolyn Witte for her newsletter, The XX Factor, looks at how more and more companies are expanding their focus on women’s health and highlights a growing group of companies driving innovation in this space. We love seeing how employers are increasingly recognizing the importance of caregiving, reproductive health, and broader well-being for women in the workforce. Women make the majority of healthcare decisions, control 80% of U.S. healthcare dollars, and spend significantly more on care—especially in peak reproductive years. The demand for better solutions is massive, and companies that recognize this aren’t just filling a gap; they’re tapping into one of the biggest growth opportunities in healthcare.

Care touches the lives of millions of families and employees—yet it continues to have a disproportionate impact on women. That's why, this Women's History Month, NationSwell is putting an extra spotlight on several cutting-edge companies and organizations working to support family caregivers and advocating for comprehensive policies and benefits that support women and families at every stage in their care journey.

We’re still buzzing over The Holding Co. recent "2025 Trends in the Care Economy" report, showcasing in-depth insights from care industry experts and trailblazers around issues related to the intersection of care and policy, healthcare, the future of work, and AI & technology. At Wellthy we see so many of the themes present for families juggling care on top of career. And that is especially true when it comes to backup care, with millions of working families craving better support as they navigate care deserts, return to office policies, and the expense of childcare.

Caregiving is a workforce challenge employers can’t afford to ignore. We're so excited that Wellthy's Kristin Spodobalski will be joining with the incredible Marquand Brown from Oswego Health in Austin to explore the real impact of caregiving on today’s healthcare workforce—and how innovative solutions are making a difference. Looking forward to the "Healthcare HR Management Institute" from the International Performance Management Institute (IPMI), where we’ll dive into why caregiving has become one of the most pressing workforce issues for health and hospital systems. #Caregiving #EmployeeBenefits #Healthcare #IPMI #CaregivingAtWork

We're so excited to be at this week's Silicon Valley Employers Forum U.S. Member Meeting, where our CEO and co-founder Lindsay Jurist-Rosner will join with Fortune Brands Innovations for a session on "Reimagining Backup Care for Today’s Evolving Workforce." As caregiving needs grow more complex—from child care to elder care and beyond—employees are craving flexible, personalized, and proactive solutions that reflect how they live and work today. We're looking forward to the conversation and to sharing some ways that forward-thinking employers are reconceptualizing the backup care experience for their teams. #BackupCare #Caregiving #EmployeeSupport #SVEF #HRLeadership

Across industries, caregiving is one of the biggest forces shaping the future of work — and it’s often women employees who feel the impact most. Women are nearly 2.5x more likely to absorb caregiving responsibilities, juggling careers while caring for children, aging parents, and loved ones. This invisible labor shapes their career paths, financial security, and well-being — and yet, it’s rarely part of mainstream conversations about workplace equity and economic opportunity. That’s why today’s International Women’s Day event in Minneapolis hosted by Ready. Set. Pivot. (RSP) put care front and center. Wellthy CEO and co-founder Lindsay Jurist-Rosner joined Melanie Moriarty, Sr. Director HR Rewards at Best Buy, and Wendy S. Wiesman from RSP for a powerful conversation about how caregiving responsibilities ripple across women’s careers — and what employers are doing to break new ground to better support family caregivers. As we head into International Women’s Day this weekend, it’s a perfect moment to reflect on the essential role women play in the care economy — and the policies, benefits, and cultural shifts needed to create a more equitable future.

The urgency of today’s care crisis — and the staggering scale of the care economy — is impossible to ignore. Families are navigating the rising demands of childcare, eldercare, and complex care, all while employers, advocates, and care innovators work to build solutions that actually meet those needs. That’s why we’re excited for the launch of The Holding Co.'s "2025 Trends in the Care Economy" — a powerful new resource highlighting the emerging trends, innovations, and urgent shifts shaping the care economy — and what it will take to build a more supportive future for families. This report brings together insights from founders, investors, public health experts, insurers, corporate leaders, and more to capture a pulse on what’s happening in care today — and where we need to go next. It’s especially exciting to see commentary from leaders with Hilton, Harvard Business School, Pivotal Ventures, Springbank, and so many more friends and partners of Wellthy who are breaking new ground and shaping a new vision — not only for the future of the care economy, but for what meaningful support for families looks like today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

As we prepare to celebrate Women's History Month and International Women's Day in the coming weeks, a critical issue remains at the forefront for us at Wellthy: caregiving responsibilities continue to have a disproportionate impact on women in the workforce. This powerful piece by Michelle Travis for Forbes highlights the dual challenges women face. The negative career consequences for women caring for aging parents are particularly severe for the "sandwich generation" – the 7.8 million eldercare providers who simultaneously care for at least one child under 18 living at home. "Women face a double whammy," explains Liz O'Donnell, founder of Working Daughter. "From a family perspective, a societal perspective, and a media perspective, there's an expectation for women to be extraordinary mothers and also to be extraordinary daughters." These expectations disproportionately affect women's health, financial security, and overall workplace equity. Addressing this systemic issue requires thoughtful workplace policy changes. Organizations that implement flexible work arrangements, comprehensive caregiving support, childcare support, and resources for emotional wellbeing can help mitigate these challenges. These approaches not only benefit individual caregivers but also contribute to creating more equitable environments and help businesses retain talent and reduce turnover.

A powerful new series from WCBS | CBS New York, "The Cost of Caregiving,"?captures an important reality that many caregivers know all too well: "People become caregivers and don't even realize it. You think, 'Oh, I'm just going to help Mom with this and help Dad with that,' but slowly you're taking on all of these responsibilities in addition to your own responsibilities at work and at home. And suddenly, you are now taking care of them, and there is no manual for it," says reporter Jennifer Bisram. "We often hear caregivers talk about feeling depressed, lonely, and isolated and that is something we have to talk more about. There are so many resources out there–you just have to find them. You do not have to be alone." It's so important to see these critical conversations get deeper and meaningful coverage — highlighting both the challenges caregivers face, as well as the importance of finding proper support for families navigating caregiving. This kind of visibility helps de-stigmatize the struggles many caregivers experience, and encourages so many more to seek the resources they need both at home and in the workplace.
