The Undervalued Shift: Caregiving in Nevada

Learn about the role of immigrants, underpaid care workers, and family caregivers.

Nevada is one of the fastest aging states. As people decide to stay in their homes for longer, one question arises: who cares for them? Check out KUNR’s series, “The Undervalued Shift: Caregiving in Nevada,” to learn about the role of immigrants, underpaid care workers, and family caregivers.

The series was published with the assistance of the Journalism & Women Symposium (JAWS) Health Journalism Fellowship, supported by The Commonwealth Fund, and produced by KUNR’s Lucia Starbuck, edited by Vicki Adame, photographed by Kat Fulwider, digital content created by Autumn Novotny, translated by Monica Cordero, and mentorship provided by Naseem Miller.
