On a mission
When the first CaringBridge page was created in June 1997, we didn’t yet know the incredible impact CaringBridge would have on so many families. Yet today, nearly three decades later, the importance of support and community while on a health journey remains crucial. The work of founder, Sona Mehring, continues into the next chapter, surrounding family caregivers, and their loved ones going through a health journey, with help, hope, and healing.
