Working Together
JHCN provides value-added complementary services to Jewish individuals facing a terminal illness in collaboration with professional partners. We are committed to ensuring culturally and religiously sensitive high-quality support. JHCN is funded solely by donations — there is no cost to patients, families or professional partners.
Professional partners include
- Healthcare providers: hospitals and physicians, hospice and palliative care providers
- Independent living retirement communities, skilled care facilities, nursing homes and long-term care facilities
- Jewish communal organizations: social service agencies, congregations and clergy
JHCN’s team of social workers, rabbis, enrichment specialists and volunteers help make every day the best it can be.
We offer:
- Care Navigation
JHCN strengthens the relationship between professional partners and Jewish patients by navigating their care while addressing questions and concerns from a Jewish perspective.
- Life Enrichments
With a focus on living in the moment, Life Enrichment specialists engage patients and family members in one-on-one, in-person or virtual visits.
- Spiritual Care
JHCN’s diverse team of rabbis offers vital support to patients and families in accordance with one’s beliefs.
- Bereavement
Support groups and individual sessions with Rabbis and social workers help mourners navigate an emotionally challenging time.
