ABOUT JOSH CARESOur Mission: Josh Cares is dedicated to ensuring that no critically or chronically ill children treated at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical
Center suffer through a hospitalization feeling alone, without the support of a parent by their sides when they need it the most. Josh
Cares Child Life Specialists provide comfort, support and companionship to these children and serve as surrogates for, and
links to, the families who would be by their sides if they could.
Josh Cares serves children in all critical and chronic care units
throughout Cincinnati Children’s. At any given time,
there are approximately 25 seriously ill children whose families are unable to be by their sides throughout their
hospitalizations.
Josh Cares is the only program of its kind nationwide!
ABOUT JOSH CARESJosh Cares is a separate 501c3 organization from
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, existing solely to promoting the needs of the hospital’s long term patients whose families are unable to be by their sides as often as
they would like.
ABOUT JOSH CARESFor every $20 donated, a child will
benefit from an entire hour of one-on-one companionship from their trusted Josh Cares Child Life Specialist. Visit
www.joshcares.org today to “buy time” for these emotionally and physically vulnerable patients.
