Mayo Clinic now offers CarePages, a free Web service for our patients while they are at Mayo, to help them keep in touch with loved ones back home and elsewhere. Through CarePages, family members can post messages, updates and even pictures efficiently and quickly. Loved ones can respond with messages of support and encouragement. Families often find CarePages easier to use than making and receiving multiple phone calls.
CarePages can be created or visited by anyone with Internet access. The service is confidential, secure and private. See www.carepages.com/mayoclinic.
