Tenet Healthcare Hospital the First Healthcare Provider to Leverage Family Management Platform
ROCK HILL, S.C., Oct. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — KidsLink, an online family management platform used to organize important documents, events, and milestones, announces its entry into the healthcare market in partnership with Piedmont Medical Center (PMC), a Tenet Healthcare hospital based in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
Using the platform’s innovative family dashboard and mobile app, parents can import, aggregate and share important documents—such as health insurance, immunization records, report cards, and activity forms—on their smart phone, tablet or desktop. The new KidsLink mobile application provides parents a tool to capture and store hard-copy documents for easy future access, all with their smartphone’s camera. In Rock Hill, KidsLink provides local users quick access to PMC’s patient portal to access their medical and billing records. Parents will also receive alerts regarding community healthcare events, tailored health awareness updates—such as flu shot availability—and schedules for wellness classes and support groups open to the public.
“We created KidsLink, in part, to streamline paperwork management and help parents connect with their children’s healthcare providers and community organizations in a more meaningful way,” says Chris Morocco, CEO of KidsLink. “The PMC partnership realizes what we’ve always envisioned: utilizing the latest technology as a starting point to guide parents through managing their family’s life in the 21st century.”
Specifically designed for busy parents, KidsLink is particularly beneficial to new moms by providing a central, curated set of tools that walks parents through the process of tracking documents, milestones, memories, and wellness for their babies and young children. It will debut its mobile app and sync with PMC’s network October 20, 2013.
“A baby’s birth is a milestone we are proud to be a part of here at PMC,” says Bill Masterton, CEO of Piedmont Medical Center. “KidsLink allows us to stay connected with that family over time and remain easily accessible if a medical need arises. It also provides a channel for us to communicate important and valuable content with them.”

Innovator makes debut at Type-A Parent Conference
ATLANTA – Sept. 27, 2013 – On the heels of a successful pilot program at several prominent metro Atlanta preschools, family management app KidsLink announces its beta-launch on September 27, 2013 at the Type-A Parent Conference in Atlanta. Designed for modern parents to manage the infant through adolescent years of their children’s lives, the KidsLink platform includes a dashboard app which features a vault to store and share important documents and milestones, as well as reminders to maintain family wellness.
“Today’s parents have to track a mountain of paperwork for their family—from immunizations to field trip releases to sports physicals—because most institutions and organizations struggle with legacy systems,” says Chris Morocco, CEO of KidsLink. “KidsLink streamlines family organization to allow moms to focus on the business of being a mother, not an administrator.”
Through KidsLink, moms and dads can import, aggregate and share important documents on their smart phone, tablet or desktop, rendering hard copy forms—like health insurance or immunization records—obsolete. In addition, KidsLink users also receive seasonal and developmental alerts and helpful prompts to visually capture major milestones and life events, such as first steps or the first day of school. Complete with social sharing capabilities and Facebook compatibility, KidsLink offers connected parents the ability to then share important moments in their children’s lives with their online community.
KidsLink is initially targeting distribution of its dashboard app via channels that parents already rely on today as trusted advisors, including hospitals, pediatricians, OBs, and preschools, though users may access or install the beta app directly by visiting mykidslink.com.
To date, KidsLink has received over $1 million in funding from several investors, including BLH Venture Partners, as well as former ChoicePoint, Inc., President and COO Doug Curling, and his investment firm New Kent Capital.
Moms as Leading Tech Adopters
Moms are not newcomers to the technological frontier. In fact, recent studies have shown that women are the leading tech adopters in internet and mobile phone usage as well as social networking. The modern mother not only embraces the benefits of technology, but she also harnesses it in all aspects of her life, including parenting. KidsLink enables connected moms to bypass the current outdated medical and milestone documentation tools and use technology to facilitate a new level of family organization.
Following the beta-launch at the Type-A Parent Conference, users will be able to access and/or install the app at www.mykidslink.com. The dashboard will be available to beta users on their desktops, tablets and mobile devices.

KidsLink marks the end of its first preschool registration season; announces team
April 3, 2013
Today, KidsLink officially concluded its first season as the choice provider of preschool registration and data exchange services.
With KidsLink’s service, youth organizations can administer both their entire application process and their ongoing management of forms throughout the year. KidsLink allows administrators to manage by exception, focusing efforts on registrants that may need assistance.
From a parent’s perspective, “This also serves as a sea-change for the future of family document management, the ‘beginning of the end’ for obsolete paper-based registration,” noted KidsLink CEO Chris Morocco.
According to Peachtree Presbyterian Preschool Communications Director Beth Copeland, “We have been searching for a way to consolidate and simplify the admission process and eliminate paperwork for both the parents and the Preschool. KidsLink provides the tool to efficiently coordinate registration and student record forms.
“Parents have been enthusiastic about the new online registration, and the support we’ve received from KidsLink has made the conversion seamless. After the success of our registration process, we’re really looking forward to having KidsLink help us with our data management throughout the school year.”
Stated KidsLink’s co-founder Scott Powers, “Peachtree Presbyterian Preschool has been a perfect partner for us. We’ve learned so much from them and look forward to continue helping their staff and parents throughout their school year.”
Looking to the future, CEO Morocco said, “In the coming years, moms and dads will never again have to juggle hundreds of paper forms and documents just to manage their kids’ lives. Instead, it’ll all be contained in one app on their computers or mobile phones.”
