Who We Are
The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers was created grounded in the philosophy that it is crucial to prioritize family caregivers beyond the specific issue or health condition of those in their care.
Nearly 40 years ago, Mrs. Carter’s visionary leadership inspired us to remain steadfast to see family caregivers, those in our lives who are often the unseen. Family caregivers are rarely the focus of policies or systems, creating immense strain and lack of support for this universal issue.
Our Mission
The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers (RCI) drives transformative systems change to improve the strength, health, and resilience of family caregivers.
Our Team
RCI’s team represents the rich backgrounds of caregivers across all communities. We are united by our own caregiver experiences, joined in a shared commitment to elevating and supporting those who are, have been, and who will become caregivers. With expertise across various fields, our team drives transformative change in the systems that impact caregivers’ lives.
Our Founder
Rosalynn Carter’s experience with caregiving began decades before founding RCI in 1987, but it was the inspiration for and continues to fuel our support of caregivers today.
We can’t do this work without the support of caregiver champions like you.
