Josh Cares Information

Josh Cares is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that no seriously ill child goes through a hospitalization without the critical support of someone who cares for them when a parent or family member cannot be there when they need them the most. Josh Cares funds professionally trained Child Life Specialists who provide consistent comfort, care and companionship for a child whose family would be by their sides if they could. These Child Life Specialists also serve as links between the family and child to nourish their relationship despite their physical separation. At any given time, an average of 25+ critically ill children at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center are without the support of a family that is so critical to their care and healing. Josh Cares provides consistent support to address this need.
