Resources for Patients and Families

• ICU-USA.com is the official patient and family website of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM). Their website includes a tour of an ICU room.
• The STARBRIGHT Family Room is an online community that provides information and support to help parents care for their seriously ill child. Created by the STARBRIGHT Foundation, with a team of parents and healthcare professionals, the site features practical tips, daily solutions, and inspiring personal stories from other parents who have "been there."
• Children's Hospice International is a non-profit organization founded in 1983 to provide all-inclusive health care for children with life-threatening conditions and their families from time of diagnosis, with hope for a cure, through bereavement counseling if the cure is not attained. They say, "A parent should never have to choose between hospice care and hope for a cure."
