Overview

America's Hotline Directory is a project operated by Rainer Philanthropy. Visit rainer.ngo to learn about this and other projects. We stand as the only patient built advocacy and information, 501(C)3 nonprofit corporation, providing information and advocacy on behalf of former ICU patients, their caregivers and families related to Post Intensive Care Syndrome ("PICS"). As we go through this unfamiliar territory, as former ICU patients instead of medical professionals, we will rely on the growing stockpile of knowledge and support from the medical community. PostICU's membership is free to all who are interested in or affected by PICS. Our website provides a source of new and information to people suffering from PICS and PICS-F. PostICU's mission is to grow our membership ranks, so that we can become better positioned to advocate effectively on behalf of former and future ICU patients. Because more than one-half of the over six million patients that stay in ICUs annually will suffer from PICS, we hope to get a seat at the table with critical care professionals, hospital decision makers and the health insurance industry, so that we can represent PICS and PICS-F sufferers by making recommendations about ways to incorporate PICS education and treatment at hospitals with OCUs and to advocate for systematic follow-up care for the known and likely symptoms which former ICU patients suffer from. The more members that join PostICU, the better chances we will have at having our voices heated by and our recommendations considered by the critical care medical community and health insurance companies.
