Save a Child's Heart Philanthropy

In the spring of 2011 JMed raised over $1,500 for Save A Child's Heart, an amazing organization dedicated to treating children with life-threatening heart problems from all over the world.

Save a Child's Heart (SACH) is an Israeli-based international humanitarian project, whose mission is to improve the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children from developing countries who suffer from heart disease and to create centers of competence in these countries. SACH is totally dedicated to the idea that every child deserves the best medical treatment available, regardless of the child's nationality, religion, color, gender or financial situation.
