About Us

Going through a medical situation of any kind—whether it’s planned or unexpected—can be overwhelming, emotionally draining and lonely.

At Bikur Cholim of Cleveland, we strive to help our fellow Jews, both young and old, from within Cleveland and beyond, during a medical crisis. Consider us an extended family, always available to lend a helping hand.

Our dedicated staff and volunteer corps selflessly perform acts of bikur cholim—literally “visiting the sick”—365 days a year, with services provided 24 hours a day. And, we do all of this in accordance with Jewish tradition and laws, regardless of affiliation.

Our medical support services, all of which are tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients, are provided free of charge. No need is too big or too small. Hospitality homes, kosher food, visitations, transportation, and medical equipment loans are just a few of the services we offer.

Additionally, through our close partnerships with Cleveland’s top-notch physicians and medical centers, we help patients navigate the complexities of the healthcare system.

Think of us as your “Jewish 911” for caregiver support. We hope you won’t need us, but if you do, we are only a phone call away at 216-320-1771.
