Rallying Social Support for Patients and Caregivers
Healthcare teams do more than provide clinical care. Through nursing, social work, child life, chaplaincy and patient experience, hospitals are nurturing the emotional needs of patients. By partnering with CaringBridge, you and your staff can amplify your impact, helping the patients and caregivers you serve reduce isolation and focus on healing while mobilizing their community.
We are the trusted platform for health journey communications.
For more than 20 years, CaringBridge has made it simple and safe to offer or ask for support when it’s needed most. Support from others is an essential constant. And the feeling of community rallying behind you truly matters – research has linked social support and positivity with improved health outcome.
Nearly 300,000 people use our private, ad-free nonprofit social network every single day, sharing health updates and rallying around loved ones.
Hospitals Use CaringBridge to Preserve Personal Connections
During the extraordinary impact of COVID-19 on the health care industry, hospitals across the country are using CaringBridge to preserve critical personal connections between hospitalized patients and their loved ones, as well as those vulnerable patient populations and family caregivers physically distancing from their support communities.
The following are ways CaringBridge is currently being shared in Hospital:
- Social, Emotional & Spiritual Support Care Contact Patient Communications
- Website and Online Communications re: Visitation Policies
- Hospital or Facility Intake: Encourage families to establish a communications process during stay
- Bedside: Installing CaringBridge app on tablets and iPads
- Hospital Software: Patient Portals, Educational Content, Resource Sharing
