Texas Children’s patients and families can set up their own voice mail using CareMessages, a personal voice mailbox for patients to record updates and receive messages from friends and relatives. This free, secure service allows you to:

• Share news and updates about your child through the voice mail greeting, which can be changed at any time
• Receive messages from family and friends
• Continue support and care for your child without disruption

All patients admitted to Texas Children’s Hospital have access to a CareMessages voice mailbox. Information and instructions for use can be found in your inpatient room welcome book. If you need help setting up your greeting, resetting passwords or retrieving messages, call guest services at 832-824-7827 or your patient representative at 832-824-1919. If you do not have instructions for use in your hospital room, tell your nurse or patient representative, and he or she will help you.

You can also keep in touch on the Web with CarePages. Texas Children's Hospital and TLContact have partnered to help you use the Web to communicate with loved ones while your child is in the hospital. The CarePage service allows you to easily build a customized Web page.

CareMessages and CarePages are private, password-protected systems that are unique to each patient and comply with all patient privacy regulations.
