About Bikur Cholim of Cleveland

It doesn’t matter where you’re from. Or what kind of support you need…

For Jewish individuals and families confronting serious medical challenges, even simple questions can become overwhelming.

Who can you turn to for help? Bikur Cholim of Cleveland.

Bikur Cholim is Cleveland’s safety net for Jewish families in medical crisis. Since 1988, Bikur Cholim has honored the mitzvah to visit and extend aid to the sick. We help fellow Jews in need close to home here in Cleveland... and for families traveling great distances to seek treatment in our major medical centers.

Like extended family, Bikur Cholim delivers physical, emotional and religious support during serious medical treatment. And it’s all for free and also in accordance with Jewish tradition and laws, regardless of affiliation.
