[edit] History

CareFlash was founded by Jay Drayer in connection with two life experiences: a two month stay that his father-in-law experienced in an ICU ward and witnessing the second airplane's impact on the WTC while in downtown New York. Jay and wife, Terry, experienced being caretakers to someone dealing with chronic healthcare challenges. After witnessing 9/11 Jay left the world of corporate finance, where he was employed as a CFO, to develop CareFlash.

In 2007, Careflash developed a partnership with the Children's Cancer Hospital at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson to develop several childhood cancer-specific online communities[1].
