What Can CaringBridge Do for You?

Our nonprofit has been supporting health journeys since 1997. CaringBridge is a no-cost digital communication platform for sharing health updates. It is an easy and ad-free way to communicate health news to family and friends—all in one place. 

Online Journal to Post Health Updates

When you're on a health journey, even something simple like texting or emailing updates to loved ones is one to-do too many. CaringBridge is a platform for sharing health updates with everyone in your circle—saving time and energy.

The CaringBridge Planner

Tasks specific to your health journey that make your to-do list overwhelming. But even when you need help the most, you may be hesitant to reach out directly—worried that it's asking too much. The CaringBridge Planner offers relief and support. Easily ask your community to help with some of your tasks.

Mobile App

Our mobile app offers you convenience, which is essential on a health journey.

WHAT A CARINGBRIDGE USER SAYS

It’s easy to feel alone, and you don’t want to ask for help because you feel it is your burden to carry. But there is so much victory in being able to go through this with other people. You don’t have to carry this alone.
