Closing the Gaps in Care

In New York, nearly one million residents lack health insurance and even those with coverage face significant barriers to care. From Holocaust survivors needing trauma-informed support to caregivers requiring far more respite and support than insurance provides, the gaps in our health care system are real and urgent.

MJHS Foundation helps fills these critical gaps through strategic philanthropic support, transforming donor generosity into the programs, services and specialized care that insurance simply won’t cover.

Insurance doesn’t cover everything. Your gift helps provide for everyday needs and services that bring dignity and comfort when families need it most.
Support Families and Caregivers
Caregivers are often overlooked, your support helps provide the guidance, respite and understanding they deeply need.
Ensure Care for Every New Yorker
Many New Yorkers are uninsured or underinsured, making essential care out of reach. Your generosity helps ensures they receive the comfort and health care they deserve.
