U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-GA, addressed the Aging and Veterans’ Affairs joint Committee hearing late last week and stressed an urgent need to support veteran caregivers and the burdens veterans and their families face when the nation’s caregiving infrastructure fails. During his testimony, Warnock addressed structural lapses in current caregiving programs for veterans and their families and the need to invest in new programs.
The hearing featured testimony from Pennsylvania veteran Peter Townsend and Montanan veteran caregiver Hannah Nieskens, as well as other witnesses with experience in veterans caregiving and veterans advocacy.
