Abstract

In 2008, thirty-one national organizations joined together to form the Eldercare Workforce Alliance (EWA) to address the workforce crisis in caring for older Americans. In this article, we describe the EWA's work as a go-to source for evidence-based policy analysis, and successes implementing recommendations of the 2008 IOM report Retooling for an Aging America, to support geriatric workforce education and training and represent the needs of family caregivers in Washington, DC.
