Our Mission
The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers (RCI) promotes the health, strength, and resilience of all caregivers at every stage of their journey.
Our Values
Insight begins with acknowledging the emotional impact of caregiving. Beyond that, it is critical that we understand the data. It is important to root our programs and initiatives in the latest data and use it to monitor effectiveness. We are always evolving, and our initiatives evolve with us.
