CARING Magazine
 CARING is published to address the critical issues and needs of those millions of Americans who, in the words of Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, are on the fringes of life. He spoke of the millions of children facing problems in the dawn of life, he added the elderly, experiencing compound burdens in the twilight of life, and the handicapped and disabled, who he said were in the shadows of life. CARING is dedicated to the belief that there is no problem experienced by humanity that cannot be solved. Moreover, it posits that the solution to most human problems lies in the love, understanding, and caring of one human being for another. As one of its major themes, CARING is committed to advancing the proposition that as much as is humanly possible, health care and supportive services should be delivered in the home. Home health care and hospice both serve to keep families together, and CARING is whole-heartedly committed to advancing this most important social value.
