I am pleased to announce that National Episcopal Health Ministries is now a proud sponsor of CaringBridge, a nonprofit service that provides free websites to patients and families when someone is facing a serious medical condition, treatment or recovery. Please let your patients and their families know that CaringBridge is a free service offered by National Episcopal Health Ministries.
Why?
The CaringBridge service enhances our faith-family support system. CaringBridge simplifies communication and reduces stress for patients and caregivers by providing a centralized location for posting updates, as well as a place for friends and family to send messages of love and support.
This means family, friends and staff can spend less time fielding phone calls and more time focusing on the patient - and since all of the content on a CaringBridge website is created and posted by the patient or family member, there are no HIPPA restrictions or regulations on that content.
How does it work?
A CaringBridge website can be created by visiting www.caringbridge.org/episcopalhealthministries. By following a few simple steps, a personalized website complete with privacy options can be started in just minutes. The author introduces the reason for the CaringBridge site in “My Story” and provides ongoing updates through entries in the “Journal.” After receiving an e-mail confirmation of the active site, authors can forward their unique and private CaringBridge website name and address to family and friends. Friends and family members can receive automatic updates when journal entries have been made, and can leave messages of love, support and encouragement in the “Guestbook.”
Who is it for?
CaringBridge can and should be recommended to patients and families in all types of medical situations including cancer, premature birth, organ transplant, extended hospitalization, hospice care, war injury, stroke, rehabilitation and more.
