The resolution introduced by Senator Hanna M. Gallo proclaims February 21, 2025, as "National Caregivers Day" in the State of Rhode Island. This day is intended to recognize and express gratitude to the millions of caregivers who provide essential care to individuals in need, including both professional caregivers and informal family caregivers. National Caregivers Day was established in 2015 by the Providers Association for Home Health & Hospice Agencies (PAHHHA) and has been celebrated since 2016.

The resolution highlights the significant contributions of caregivers, noting that approximately 53 million individuals in the U.S. serve in this role without pay, with a majority being female. Caregivers dedicate substantial time to various tasks, including personal care, household management, and medical coordination. By designating a specific day to honor these individuals, the resolution aims to raise awareness of their vital role in the community and to encourage appreciation for their hard work and dedication. The Secretary of State is tasked with transmitting a certified copy of the resolution to PAHHHA.
