About Us

The FAMA Bilingual Center for Family Caregivers (FAMA Center) is a nonprofit organization founded in Illinois in 2011. Its creation is the result of findings of a research study conducted by Maria L. Ugarte, a social worker, immigrant and long time caregiver of several members of her family.  The outcome of the study revealed a tremendous need for support of family caregivers.  The purpose of this website is to provide information and resources to family caregivers and families so they may lead healthier lives.
