CaringBridge Connects Patients/Families While Hospitals Limit Visitation Due to H1N1

Hospitals are placing higher restrictions on their visitation policies due to the threat of H1N1. While this helps reduce exposure to the virus, it also means that patients will see less of their family and friends, increasing their feeling of isolation.

CaringBridge is the solution to keeping patients from feeling isolated during hospital stays. Patients can create their own virtual hospital room on CaringBridge where family and friends can gather to exchange health updates, love and support.

Free resources are available to help healthcare facilities inform patients of this alternative to in-person visits. For free resources contact Meghan Murphy at mmurphy@caringbridge.org.
