The foundation is made up of three main units

health and community connection- this is the rationale behind creating a sustainable model for accessing solutions and services in the community for chronic patients and relieving loneliness for those who in light of their medical condition rarely leave the house.

Many patients with chronic illnesses face physical and emotional difficulties with another significant challenge: The need to manage their own treatment themselves while dealing with a number of HMOs and caregiving professionals. Many studies show that the more a patient is involved in managing their own treatment, the better their health outcome is.

The role of the unit is to connect the vision of improving the quality of life for patients dealing with chronic illness, to technological/digital infrastructures and tools. We do this through “digital Hibu”k”, a technological platform dedicated to the Hibu”k unit, which serves as a tool for receiving, analyzing, and making information accessible about what is being done in the field.

About the foundation

The association leads a proactive approach that identifies needs that arise among health organizations and community bodies – and produces a series of comprehensive solutions nationwide, which constitute an additional and complementary layer to public medical services in Israel.

“Thank you very much for all the activity and for being a great partner. It must be said that working with you and your scholarships was super professional and comfortable, The referrals raised by your scholarship interns were significantly more significant and not “marginal” referrals compared to other civil society organizations. I must also mention all the ongoing contact management and accompaniment of the volunteers that is entirely coordinated by you and allowed me personally to deal mainly with the important matters and not the concentration and operation of the volunteers/scholarships, those who were on your behalf. “
