| CCA expands service with new partnership by Dave |
 |
At CCA we know that families going through a serious health event can be overwhelmed by medical terminology, treatment decisions and hospital visits. In times like these, when children and their families need more than medicine we are privileged to be there creating joy one moment at a time with our innovative programs and services.
We are constantly looking for ways to enhance our programs and are excited to share a new partnership with Caring Bridge, a charitable nonprofit organization that offers free, private websites that connect family and friends to share information, love and support during a serious health event, care and recovery. Now children and family members served by CCA can use a Caring Bridge website to centralize communication during all types of serious health events, easing the burden of updating family and friends.
The websites can be an important tool for those served by CCA to reduce isolation and stress in a difficult time, giving them an appropriate outlet for sharing their feelings and receiving support. Rather than individually contacting each member of their support system, a CaringBridge site allows patients and their families to update everyone concerned with just one journal entry.
We are so pleased to partner with CaringBridge and continue our cloak of support for the children and families we serve.
Happy Thanksgiving!
David Schaeffer, CCA’s VP of Development
