Questions about the guide, the website, printing, or bringing In Their Corner to a hospital all belong here. For questions about your person's medical care, always ask the care team on the unit.

Send a question

We read every message. We will reply to your email as soon as we can.

Please do not include private medical details in your message. For anything about your person's care, ask the nurses and doctors on the unit. They are the right people, and they want you to ask.

Common questions

Yes. The printed trifold, the email version, and everything on this website are free. Nobody in an ICU waiting room should have to pay for basic information, and that will not change.
No. In Their Corner offers general support and information for families. It is not medical advice. Always follow the guidance of your care team. The guide's whole job is helping you talk to that team.
I founded In Their Corner in the summer of 2026, after my older brother spent weeks in an intensive care unit. The guide grew out of the notebook I kept at his bedside, and I still keep it going now that he is in rehab. You can read the full story on the About page.
Yes, please do. Request the guide by email and print as many as you need. If you want copies for a hospital unit, email us first so we can talk about placement and getting the unit's nurses to review it.
The numbers on our monitor page are examples of a stable adult patient. Every patient has their own targets, set by their team. If a number looks off to you, tell a nurse. That is never an overreaction.
Share the guide with a family who needs it, follow @intheircornerproject on Instagram, and if you work at a hospital, help us get the guide into your unit. That is the support that matters most.
