Thousands of cholei Yisroel are trekking through winding, obstacle-strewn medical journeys. The names of their routes are frightening: cancer, organ failure, life-threatening infections, and other terrible diseases. But they’re not alone on this journey. Chaim Medical Resource is Blazing their Trail.
Chaim Medical Resource is to patients what a forest ranger is to a hiker lost in the woods. They guide the sick through the medical system, send them to the world’s greatest specialists, and research treatment options – even in the most hopeless cases.
Now, in response to requests from community members, the organization is Blazing the Trail in Lakewood and its environs. They’re helping a large number of patients from the area – and are running a Charidy campaign to fund their lifesaving work. The campaign will make such a difference.
Already, Chaim Medical has unearthed a cadre of specialists in New Jersey – sparing patients the travel time and expense of being treated out of state. That is besides for their expansive network of world-class doctors around the country. (Chaim Medical will never sacrifice quality for convenience!)
With enough funding, they’ll do so much more!
Chaim Medical Resource has a budget of $9.3 million. They have 21 medical divisions; and employ 65 brilliant experts specializing in virtually every medical condition. No disease is beyond their purview. From fetal and maternal surgery to the most complex organ failures and cancers, Chaim Medical Resource is a beacon of hope.
Medical teams are often astounded to find that the knowledgeable, savvy people they speak to on the phone are Chassidish and Yeshivish men and women with no medical training. But Chaim Medical’s team has the brilliance and passion that more than makes up for its lack of formal medical schooling. And they have one more thing: Ahavas Yisroel – a fiery love that fuels every fight for life.
“When someone calls about a life-threatening heart condition, we can’t tell them to wait. There’s a life at stake. We have to help – no matter what it costs to keep our cardiac expert at her desk.” The same applies to every other specialty, from eye disorders to the Crohn’s and Colitis coalition, and all the others.
“Callers are frantic,” she says. “They need reassurance; they need to know where to go, and they need it right away.” Chaim Medical Resource’s staff of dedicated experts deals with medical specialties including rare cancers, premature birth, infectious diseases, and much more. The organization’s founder and director, Mrs. Shavy Kahan, and her indefatigable co-director, Mrs. Pessy Schlafrig, leave no stone unturned in their quest to help their suffering brethren.
They have the biggest specialists in every field in their contact lists– and are so respected in the medical world; physicians have been known to take their calls even in the midst of important meetings and appointments. Now they’re urging the community to come forward and help.
“Nearly everyone knows someone who was helped by Chaim Medical,” says Mrs. Schlafrig. “You may not know about it because people keep things quiet, but the fact is, we’ve helped many thousands of people, and our phone doesn’t stop ringing.” Now the organization is calling on you.
Join Chaim Medical in Blazing the Trail in Lakewood, Tom’s River, Jackson, and the surrounding areas; and help cholim in the community get the guidance and support they need – even when there’s no apparent path to a cure.
