The United States faces a severe shortage of workers to care for its aging population. Research on the causes of the elder care workforce crisis and potential solutions is increasingly urgent.
Most Americans say they want to die at home, comfortably and with family present. Most die in hospitals and nursing facilities, often with unwanted interventions. The gap is addressable.
The United States has one of the highest maternal mortality rates among wealthy nations. Researchers and clinicians have identified clear patterns in who is most at risk and why.
