What is a care page

CaringBridge is your free online tool for sharing health updates. It is an easy and ad-free way to communicate health news to family and friends—all in one place.

CaringBridge strives to provide a safe, secure place for families on health journeys to share updates and receive support from loved ones. Because we ensure that websites are protected and private, patients and family caregivers may confidently post updates, without worry or hesitation.

Nearly 25 years ago, our founder, Sona Mehring, had the idea for CaringBridge when she needed to share news about a good friend’s premature baby. Instead of making dozens of emotional and time-consuming phone calls, she created a website—and CaringBridge was born.

CaringBridge is a nonprofit organization funded by donations. CaringBridge services are available online 24/7 to anyone, anywhere at no cost. CaringBridge offers protected online spaces with multiple privacy settings.

We Have Your Privacy at Heart

Every CaringBridge Site comes with these important privacy guarantees: Personal data is protected and not sold. There’s no outside advertising. Your news and updates are as private as you make them or as public as you want them to be.

Mission: CaringBridge is working toward a single vision: a world where no one goes through a health journey alone. … CaringBridge is a global nonprofit social network dedicated to helping family and friends communicate with and support loved ones during a health journey.

In 1997, our founder, Sona Mehring, had the idea for CaringBridge when she needed to keep everyone updated when college friends JoAnn Hardegger and Darrin Swanson were going through a difficult pregnancy. Instead of making dozens of emotional and time-consuming phone calls, Sona created a website.

Whether you’re a caregiver managing a site or want to support a loved one going through a health journey, staying updated is now enhanced at your fingertips on our new mobile app.

The majority of CaringBridge donations are made in honor of a loved one, through the tribute donation widget on each CaringBridge site. During their annual holiday campaign, CaringBridge wanted to inspire more people to give by intensifying the force of the value proposition in this donation widget.

If the site is searchable by name, you can find the site by starting on our home page, www.caringbridge.org, enter the person’s name or site name, where it says Visit a Friend’s Website and click on the search button. There is also a “Search” option in the upper right corner of most CaringBridge pages.

These features make CaringBridge a uniquely thoughtful and comprehensive tool. Get the app: iPhone/iPad (free) Android (free)
