Proud to Serve as
Our Community’s Lifeline
Our mission
At Chaim Medical Sephardic Division, we believe no one should have to navigate the medical system alone.
Our mission is to guide Sephardic families through medical challenges and towards the best care with expertise, warmth, and unwavering support.
Our Story
Chaim Medical’s Sephardic Division was borne during COVID-19. Community leaders Nathan Hoffman and Abe Sutton – whose family had long championed quality medical care to the community – recognized the urgent need for medical referral and advocacy in our community.
Impressed by Chaim Medical’s vast expertise and infrastructure, they partnered with the organization to create a dedicated Sephardic Division, combining Chaim Medicals unparalleled medical research and doctor relationships with case managers who understand our community's unique culture and values.
