Training & Accreditation
Who is This For:

For all hospices, hospitals, nursing homes, synagogues, or any facility or program created to care for the Jewish terminally ill.

The National Institute For Jewish Hospice Training and Accreditation Program is designed to inform and educate staff, doctors, nurses, volunteers, social workers, and anyone involved in the treatment and care of the Jewish terminally ill.
All training is provided by
Rabbi Dr. Maurice Lamm and other renowned professionals.
 

Yearly Accreditation accomplishes
two objectives:


1. It affirms to the public that those hospices that are accredited are aware and capable of handling the needs of all Jewish patients, on the entire spectrum of religious and ethnic observance.

2. It trains the mostly non-Jewish health care specialists in a variety of specialized areas, presented by Rabbi Dr. Maurice Lamm, for a full day, plus supplemental communal lectures.

Yearly membership provides your hospice with:
1. Four-hour training session that includes a yearly NIJH membership with the accreditation.

2. Referrals by NIJH to anyone needing a hospice in your vicinity.

3. Ongoing consultations with Rabbi Dr. Lamm for emergency situations.

4. Counseling and advising staff in unprecedented Jewish ethical situations.

5. New products and tapes made available to you at no extra charge.
