Project Description
Teacher Hospital Visits
When children are confined to the hospital, we arrange for visitors who bear much more than balloons and candy. Our teachers arrive with knapsacks of educational materials, restoring children’s vitality by engaging and stimulating their minds.
Hospital Shifts
Kochavim coordinates hospital shifts so that parents can take a break, secure in the knowledge that a dedicated Kochavim member is at their child’s bedside.
Hospitals Far From Home
We support patients who need to travel to distant hospitals by sending volunteers to accompany the family during this difficult time. We match up volunteers who speak the family’s language and fly them to assist the families childcare and hospital logistics.
Some hospitals we have serviced include:
- St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee
- John Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland
- Cinncinati Childrens in Cincinnati, Ohio
- Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio
- MD Anderson in Houston, Texas
- National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland
