Inspire Communities

Inspire communities, built free of charge for some of the most respected health organizations in the US, provide safe, privacy- protected online environments in which individuals and caregivers facing specific health conditions can support and inform one another.

While Inspire is not a medical organization and does not provide medical advice, our members have access to the latest information available from participating nonprofits.

Features include: personal profiles, methods for making friends who share common interests and issues; moderated discussion groups; blog formats for sharing ideas and information; surveys to help members and organization stay abreast of current trends and opportunities; and a message service providing community, nonprofit and other information to members who choose to receive it. Members may join as many communities as they wish.

Inspire communities:

Focus on specific health conditions.
Place a higher premium on privacy and confidentiality protection than do many other social networking sites.
Serve as entry points to our nonprofit partners’ web sites--allowing community members access to high quality information provided by reputable sources.
Are moderated by Inspire, which also provides technical support, at no cost to members or nonprofit partners.
Allow members to join multiple groups

Testimonials

Families often say to us, especially those with rare or genetic disorders, that they want to be able to talk to other families who walk the walk—they want to share that valuable connection. They can do this with Inspire's online community platform. - Kathy Russell, Executive Director, The Children's Inn at NIH

I am so encouraged by the upbeat fighting attitudes of the members here and with your loving concern for each other. - Member, Lung Cancer Alliance Survivors Support Community

I read the blogs and my heart goes out to each and everyone who has been or going through this as a patient or as a caregiver. I wish this site would have been here while my brother was alive. - Member, ALS Advocacy Support Community
