Bikkur Cholim of Philadelphia is the address for families coming to Philadelphia for medical treatment. With every detail of their personal lives attended to, they can focus on recovery and rehabilitation.
Because being there for patients and their families is about much more than a stocked pantry. It’s about an extended family of volunteers available for their every personal need.
The big things: The nourishing food. The respite volunteers. The transportation. The medical equipment.
And the little things that make a big difference:
The plush slippers for weary feet.
The gluten-free dinner for an allergic parent.
The latest novel to help distract a distressed patient.
Whatever a family may need to make a challenging time a bit easier to bear.
It’s been 5,500 patients - and we hope no more.
Our volunteers know it’s not just what you give. It’s how you give:
With a gracious hand, a spacious heart, and a vivacious spirit.
Hospital university of Penn, at Chop, At Jeffreson, At Shriners, At Lankenau.
Places that can feel isolating and frightening.
But a personal lifeline is like a ray of kinship and kindness - and creates an aura of love and support that lasts way beyond the hospital stay.
Help us help every patient and their families.
