About TrachCare

TrachCare is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to provide support and information to parents, caregivers and healthcare providers of children who have, or previously had, a tracheostomy and children who are on ventilator support. It was founded in 2004 by parents in Massachusetts who have children with trachs.

Mission

The mission of TrachCare is to provide a means for families who share similar experiences of caring for children with trachs to:

• Connect with each other.

• Share relevant resources and information.

• Promote an advocacy-focused network.

Each child with a trach and/or ventilator support is unique - what works for one child and family may not work for another.

Always check with your child's doctor(s) and/or therapist(s) before using any information presented for your child's treatment or care.

All personal information learned through  TrachCare activities is to be treated with complete respect and confidentiality.

Some children will outgrow the need for a trach or ventilator support, others will have a trach or ventilator support for their lifetime; we seek to support all parents and caregivers of trach children, whatever their experience will be.
