Jewish
Healthcare International - Welcome It’s an amazing
story- one full time equivalent staff person engages hundreds of
Jewish healthcare professionals, who then educate thousands of overseas
healthcare professionals, who then provide improved healthcare to
hundreds of thousands of people. Some call that a ripple
effect----We call it Jewish Healthcare
International. Jewish Healthcare International
(JHI) was established in 1999 to enhance the quality of and increase
access to healthcare services for vulnerable communities throughout
the world. JHI brings together healthcare volunteers from both the
Diaspora and Israel— a collaboration that provides long-lasting
relationships, a commitment to the state of Israel, and a legacy
of Tikun Olam, or repairing the world. JHI has primarily
focused on the Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe and has a
proven record of success helping thousands of impoverished members
of the Jewish community gain access to healthcare while improving
the quality of healthcare for the entire community. Partners
