AIDS Foundation Houston and CareFlash Collaborate to Support AIDS patients
HOUSTON, May 12, 2008 --
AIDS Foundation Houston and CareFlash have formed an alliance to increase HIV/AIDS awareness and communication among patients, their families and the greater community.
"We at AIDS Foundation Houston (AFH) are very pleased to partner with CareFlash," said Kelly McCann, CEO of AIDS Foundation Houston. "We believe the communication, information and educational resources provided through CareFlash are of great value to our clients, our staff members and our entire constituency. And as an alliance partner, AFH receives the added benefit of social marketing through website links. Raising awareness is critical in the fight against AIDS."
CareFlash founder, Jay Drayer added, "AIDS Foundation Houston is innovative in their pursuit of the best resources and support services available to those affected by HIV/AIDS. The years of effort by this organization have made AFH one of the largest AIDS organizations in the nation. The effect of their services and support can be seen throughout the state of Texas and even around the world. With over 1 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the USA, and more than 40 million people globally, organizations like AFH are needed to combat the challenges of this chronic illness."

We deliver unprecedented healthcare advocacy and world class education to people in the richest circumstances imaginable, while offering unique philanthropic benefits to healthcare-related foundations, advocacy groups, religious institutions, etc. What CareFlash does is unique and unprecedented... and free.
When someone learns that they (or their loved one) have been diagnosed with a chronic healthcare challenge, a flurry of painful emotions appear ranging from fear and feelings of aloneness, to anxiety, uncertainty and even depression. As families begin the process of navigating through this experience together, it commonly becomes clear that people are unprepared and inexperienced at the realities of serving as a caretaker. CareFlash addresses these challenges, empowering our users to do the following:
Establish private and secure online communities around a loved one in order to share and facilitate updates, discussions and well-wishes
- Update friends, family, coworkers and congregants through a 'many-to-many' communication tool. CareFlash streamlines the sharing of updates and well wishes
- Educate the patient, caretaker and community on the specific disorder and treatment options at hand, using easy to understand 3-D medical animations narrated in plain everyday English, Spanish and other languages. They range from pregnancy and neonatal issues to cancer, cardiovascular, ears/eyes, neurological, genetic, bladder/kidney, digestive/mouth, endocrine, blood/immune, respiratory, orthopedic, skin/cosmetic and hundreds of others.
- Engage and organize involvement where help is needed... doing so in an unobtrusive, non-confrontational way through our easy-to-use iHelp Calendar
- This is all offered to our users for free because our revenues are derived from advertising
In addition, CareFlash delivers unique philanthropic benefits to healthcare-related foundations and institutions, advocacy groups and religious institutions via alliance partnerships that provide them fundraising and marketing... never at any cost to them.
