CaringBridge is a free, easy-to-use Internet service. It can help keep your friends and family informed about your medical journey. By visiting www.caringbridge.org, you can quickly and easily create a secure, personalized Web page.  Then you can begin to make journal entries and display photographs for your caring community. Visitors to the Web page can leave messages of support and encouragement in the guestbook.

CaringBridge empowers families to focus energy on their loved one who requires healing, while maintaining open communication with their support community. Sometimes distance, time, and finances can limit the support that friends and family are able to extend. CaringBridge becomes another avenue for friends and family to stay connected.

"CaringBridge is a blessing," one family member says. "We easily update family without having to deal with lots of phone calls and questions during an exhausting time. And the comforting, encouraging messages lift us up and give us strength so we can face tomorrow."

This service is available to everyone. Ask your social worker if you would like assistance in getting started. Additional support is available through CaringBridge.

To protect the privacy of our patients and staff, please do not identify other patients or health professionals on your CaringBridge site.
