Other organizations supporting the badge are the Alliance of Community Health Plans, the American Heart Association, the Association on Aging in NY, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island, Blue Star Families, Care.com, CaringBridge, Hilarity for Charity, the Massachusetts Caregiver Coalition, New York State Office for the Aging and New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health.

Using the badge provides caregivers the opportunity to receive recognition as well as access to resources and support networks, the release said.
