HOUSTON, June 2, 2008 --
United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Houston, an affiliate of United Cerebral Palsy Associations, has formed an alliance with CareFlash to support individuals affected by cerebral palsy and other disabilities.
CEO of UCP of Greater Houston, Elise Hough stated, "United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Houston is highly focused on providing services to individuals affected by cerebral palsy and all other disabilities. A partnership with CareFlash makes a lot of sense for us as we provide our clients with this community building tool that further aligns to support our advocacy, education and fundraising efforts. This partnership between UCP of Greater Houston and CareFlash has great potential."
Added Jay Drayer, Founder of CareFlash, "UCP of Greater Houston has been providing comprehensive services to individuals with disabilities and their families since 1946.

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.
