What is CCAN?



The Caregiver Community Action Network (CCAN) is a unique and highly dedicated volunteer group of over 110 NFCA members in more than 40 states who regularly attend meetings, conferences, and conventions about family caregiving issues. They serve as presenters, speakers, panelists, and workshop directors. CCANers advocate on behalf of family caregivers, talk to local and regional media, and may even manage their own family caregiver web sites. Some CCANers are professional caregivers while others care full-time for their own loved ones.
