Our Mission

Ohr Ami strives to make the care we offer a living embodiment of hesed, loving kindness, which is a primary Jewish value.  Ohr Ami team members exemplify this value and the services they render provide a continuous stream of acts of hesed. Our commitment is to bring to patients and their loved ones physical, emotional and spiritual support, all within a Jewish context.  Providing comfort, dignity and peace of mind is both our mission and our passion.

Ohr Ami affirms the Jewish imperative u'va'harta ba'hayyim, "choose life".   By helping to assure that a patient is kept as comfortable and pain-free as possible, by assisting patient and loved ones to attend to end-of-life issues and by maximizing the quality of their time together, Ohr Ami honors the mandate to cherish life and live every day to its fullest.

Ohr Ami - The Jewish Hospice Program is presented by LightBridge Hospice.  The LightBridge Hospice mission is to assist our patients to move through the last stages of their life with grace, strength, and hope.
