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.

How to Support Patients During Covid-19
With the evolving impact of COVID-19, and visitor restrictions and social isolation of patients, many hospitals and health systems are encouraging patients and family caregivers to use CaringBridge to make private, personal connections.
Hospitals are sharing CaringBridge as a resource by encouraging families to start a site at admission to establish a process to keep loved ones up to date, installing the CaringBridge app to provide patient bedside connections and recommending families identify a family member to be the point person with the care team and using CaringBridge to share information with loved ones to reduce call volume.
