The Volunteer Department of Partners in Health Bikur Cholim is subdivided into three major categories: Transportation, Visitation and Blood Donor Program. These programs, although painstakingly coordinate in the office owe their success to an elite corps of men and women who donate their time to ease the burden of the ill. To fully understand the scope of each of these departments and the services they provide, it is best to view them individually.
 
Your Chesed will ensure the comfort of the sick.
 
 
 
Shabbos Room Coordinators

When a patient is hospitalized over Shabbos or Yom Tov his greatest comfort is the presence of a family member at his bedside.

Our Shabbos Rooms make this possible by providing sleeping and eating accommodations on the hospital premises.

If you are available to help care for a Shabbos Room please call:
Miriam Ptalis at 845.425.7877 ext. 107

When they turn to bikur Cholim no matter what the time, the voice of the dispatcher answers calmly, reassuringly and ready to help.
