Free Web pages for The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia families

A child’s hospitalization can be an emotional and stressful time for families. Communicating the latest news with friends and relatives can mean time, energy and expense.

To help you stay in touch, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia offers you the ability to create a free, personal Web page through an outside expert, TLContact.com. Creating your own secure CarePage can help you quickly and easily share news and messages with your loved ones, no matter how far away they may be. Your CarePage is set up so that all content about your child will be entered by you alone, not by the Hospital or your child’s caregivers.

Share with Friends and Family
The simple-to-use, online service helps family and friends stay in touch during a child’s hospitalization and recovery. With a CarePage, you can:

• Share news and updates about the patient
• Receive messages of support from friends and family on your own message board
• Post visiting hours and contact information
• Share photos with friends and family
• Print the pages to read at your convenience, or to keep for your records
• Reduce time spent on the phone and answering e-mail messages
• Choose the level of security and privacy you wish to apply to your CarePage

If you would like help setting up your CarePage, visit the Connelly Resource Center for Families on the eighth floor of the Main Building or the Family Library on the first floor of Children’s Seashore House and ask any staff member for assistance.

After the initial setup, you’ll have complete control over your CarePage, and can update it at any time that’s convenient, with any computer.
