Hospital Companions helped me feel connected with friends and family after my surgery. Their personal attention really lifted my spirits.

You can't put a price on peace of mind.

Molly W., Age 36

Daughter of Patient

My family lives on the east coast and I am in Chicago. Hospital Companions' Patient Page really helped keep my family informed about my progress and the messages that family and friends posted on the page kept my mood up.

When my wife went into the hospital, I had a lot of juggling to do. Between work and three young children, I couldn't be at the hospital as much as I would have liked. Our Hospital Companion was such a blessing. She spent time with my wife and she put up a Patient Page where friends and family could check in and see how my wife was doing. I didn't have to field the 20 calls and 40 emails each night after the kids got to bed.

Andrew R., Age 35

Husband of Patient

The Hospital Companions service helped us (the neighbor gals) help our friend who had gone into the hospital. We were able to easily check her Patient Page, send her messages and coordinate who would visit when. We put her mind to rest by posting who was taking over her carpool and delivering dinner to her house that night. We loved that the Patient Page was a way to keep in contact with her without being intrusive.

Friend of Patient

My partner went to Mayo Clinic with some health concerns, and I was unable to go along since I had just started a new job. I knew I didn't want her to be alone for the appointments and tests, so we had a Hospital Companion accompany her there. Her presence eased my partner's nervousness and allowed me to get the information and updates I needed quickly. Thanks again to Hospital Companions for making my life easier during this stressful time!

Family Member of Patient

When I was assigned to my room in the hospital it was a dreary space. But when my Hospital Companion arrived, she put beautiful posters on the wall, flowers in a vase and some bulb-lit candles. It's easier to feel better when your surroundings are beautiful.

It was worth every penny we spent because Hospital Companions made that difficult time in our lives easier.

Andrew R., Age 35

Husband of Patient

I couldn't have had a better hospital companion. She was knowledgeable and supportive. I could relax because I knew I was in good hands. I also appreciated the objective, unemotional, non-family member that helped me see through the day. She was the best!

Thank you so much for last week. It was refreshing to know that you were there to check on my Grammie and give us updates from the nurses and doctors. Grammie said how sweet you were and how you found out the answers to everything. She really enjoyed your visits; If you ever need a reference I'd be happy to give a raving one!

Beth S.,

Granddaughter of Patient

Hospital Companions kept us informed of my mother's condition and spirits. Our Companion helped my mother get oriented to the rehabilitation facility and used the Patient Page to keep us informed of doctor's visits, therapy, etc. We were able to post photos and she was able to get emails from people living outside the area. Hospital Companions exceeded our expectations of the service.

Son of Patient
