Chaim Medical Resource: A mission and a legacy 

Chaim Medical Resource was founded in 2010, in memory of 13-year-old Chaim Kahan a”h, who fell victim to a rare brain tumor. His mother, Mrs. Shevy Kahan, embarked on a mission: she would do everything possible (and impossible!) to spare others from enduring what she’d just gone through. Cholei Yisroel would no longer battle illness alone.  

Together with Mrs. Pessie Schlafrig, the organization quickly mushroomed into a massive medical resource that goes far beyond medical referrals, and has earned the respect of the worldwide medical community.  

Chaim Medical Resource has an amazing team of 96 staff members in 21 medical divisions, with expertise in every medical specialty and rare diseases. They answer over 1200 calls each day with a budget of $10 million per year.  

Chaim Medical Resource is the broken heart of a mother who expended every effort to protect her child. We're the racing heart of a father, working to find answers that can save his son. We're the collective beating heart of our nation, coming together to help Cholei Yisroel through their pain…
