rateful, that’s what I feel since 2020 has ended. My children and grandchildren are healthy; they’ve all been working remotely, have been resourceful, and have grown physically, mentally and emotionally. We all have plenty of food, shelter and good friends and families we care about and who care for us. I learned to be thankful for what I have, and what I can give to others. Hadassah is that outlet for me. There are miracles happening all around us: the COVID-19 vaccine was created in record time, and the outreach that people from every walk of life are doing to assist others is remarkable. Medical personnel, food banks, delivery people and other essential workers have been taxed to the utmost. We live in our protected environment (Florida really is “Paradise�) and we are far away from the epicenter of all this mayhem. The weather enables us to go outside, to walk, exercise and wave to others, whereas our northern neighbors cannot. Hadassah hospitals, Ein Kerem and Mt. Scopus, have a multiracial, multi-religious and multilingual staff that provides care to patients of all races, ethnicities,
and religious affiliations. It doesn’t matter if you are Muslim, Christian or Jewish. It doesn’t matter if you are Black, white or brown. Hadassah advances medical knowledge and transcends traditional ways moving forward. We recently discovered new ways to regenerate bone, using carbon rods instead of metal; carbon is not only lighter in weight, but has the benefit of preserving the visibility of bone on an X-ray. These rods provide the scaffolding for mere bone fragments to regenerate, slowly growing towards each other to produce a fully-fused bone. Hadassah research is also bringing us closer to understanding how to regenerate cartilage, potentially creating new treatment options for arthritis and connective tissue disorders. The need is always there and your help is greatly needed. Hadassah, as you know, is always about education, opening your eyes and soul to the miseries of others to achieve the greatest good going forward. And, though we ask for donations, in return you get immense pride in knowing you’ve helped advance medicine. Take pride in knowing Hadassah is an international sensation helping others throughout the world — be it in Africa, India, Europe, or right here in the USA. This coming year, we hope to reveal some of these miracles through Zoom and webinars. Please stay tuned.
