About Us - We believe that no Jew should face illness alone.

What is Jewish Hospice?

People often ask us if the Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy Network is the Jewish hospice. In fact, there is no one, single, Jewish hospice. Because of the innovative and groundbreaking work of Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy Network, every hospice program in Southeast Michigan is, in effect, a Jewish hospice.

Today's complex medical delivery systems results in multiple, often competing, agencies caring for the terminally ill. Nursing homes, hospitals, home care agencies and hospices offer a dizzying array of choices to overwhelmed families at a difficult time in their lives.

The Jewish community chose not to compete with these excellent programs.

Instead, it created a network of services to provide spiritual care, social work, volunteer programs, health care advice, oversight and guidance to support patients and their families in every local healthcare and hospice agency or facility. All of our services are designed by the Jewish community for our community, and are provided free of charge.

Jewish families can be certain that no matter which healthcare system they are part of, Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy Network will be there to help.
