In addition to supporting members of the local community, Bikur Cholim of Baltimore serves all Jewish families seeking medical care in the area hospitals and facilities.
Bikur Cholim of Baltimore’s vision is to channel the chesed of our community to support patients and their families from near and far.
We lighten their burden by providing meals, transportation, visitation, respite, kosher hospitality rooms in area hospitals, a dedicated apartment for out-of-town cholim, free-loan medical equipment and other services.
It is our belief that patients should be able to focus on getting better, being assured that the community is there to assist in any way possible.
