Creating Online Support Networks in Senior Communities

eCareDiary's Director of Events, Polly Whitehorn will speak to Sona Mehring, CEO of CaringBridge. Sona will focus on combining the capabilities of technology with the personal needs of people facing a significant health challenge in order to create a network of support among a senior's entire community.

Sona is the founder of CaringBridge. She created the first CaringBridge website in 1997, during a friend’s high–risk pregnancy. With extensive experience in the information technology industry, Sona’s vision was to build upon that formative and deeply personal experience – combining the capabilities of technology with the personal needs of people facing a significant health challenge. In the years since, Sona and CaringBridge have become widely known for the creation and implementation of Compassion Technology™ that facilitates personal and convenient communication for individuals receiving care.
