Please help us ensure that no hospitalized child is ever alone
Our Mission
The mission of Josh Cares is to provide comfort, support and companionship to seriously ill children enduring lengthy hospitalizations without a family member who is able to be with them consistently. Professionally trained Josh Cares Child Life Specialists serve as surrogates for, and links to, the families who would be by their children's sides if they could.
