Ascension is partnering with CaringBridge to make it easy for family caregivers and patients to connect with their family and friends on a dedicated CaringBridge page and receive social, emotional, and functional support.
CaringBridge offers tools to share health news at once, (reducing the overwhelm feeling of responding to text messages, emails and phone calls), simplifies care coordination, and connects family caregivers and patients to their community for support.
What will CaringBridge do for you?
Through Cancer Treatment, Premature Birth, Hospital Stays, or any of Life’s Challenges
Your health platform surrounding you with support
CaringBridge Will Keep Your Family and Friends Connected
When you create your free CaringBridge Journal, you’ll have a secure place where you or your loved one can share health updates with family and friends.
Your friends will be able to:
- Comment and encourage you along the way
- Plan meal and care calendars
And all of this will be private, protected, and ad-free—so that your health updates stay between you and your family and friends.
