The Wellness Program of LifeCare Alliance is pleased to provide you with a convenient option to get your flu shot this year. On Sunday October 2, beginning at 9am, flu shots will be available outside the residence of Elana Burak (3045 Elbern Ave.) Please call Elana at (614) 437-2912 or email her at eburak@lifecarealliance.org to let her know how many adults and/or children will be getting vaccinated so that we don’t run out. She will let you know what paperwork to bring as any charges will be run through your insurance in the same way they would be if you were visiting your doctor’s office or local pharmacy.
Director of Wellness and Registered Nurse, Melinda Rowe, will be administering the flu shots in a “drive-thru” fashion. You won’t have to wait in a long line or deal with a crowded waiting room. All COVID-19 safety protocols will be enforced. Children age 4 and up are eligible if they have received a flu shot in the past.
Please note we are in network with most insurance companies but please let Elana know what insurance you have when scheduling
Chag Sameach!
We are so happy to be here together, in-person, for the High Holidays. We hope yours are off to a good start and wish you much happiness and health in the new year.
As we enter the new year, we want to reiterate our commitment to caring for you and your family. This is truly the most important work we do and the reason why JewishColumbus funds security for all our Jewish synagogues, institutions and schools – we must feel safe praying, learning, laughing and singing together. Providing physical security for our community costs over $1,000,000 a year, and we couldn’t do this without your support.
In addition to ensuring our physical safety, your generosity nourishes our community’s soul. Together, we do this by:
Assisting Jews in need across the globe From Columbus to Ukraine and from South America to Israel, Jews face poverty, persecution and uncertainty. Our local Holocaust Survivors Initiative and partnerships with international organizations help our fellow Jews across the globe –the need still is great.
Creating inclusive spaces for everyone We established and fully funded the Jewish Community Disabilities Inclusion Director, and in partnership with the JCC, are building an inclusive Jewish community for children of all abilities.
Cultivating Jewish leadership for the next generation Young Jewish Columbus (YJC)'s exciting programming engages our under-40 community members, and Leadership JewishColumbus (LJC) prepares them to lead. Already, 100% of our 30 participants have been placed on agency, synagogue and JewishColumbus boards and committees.
Instilling Jewish pride in our kids Studies prove that overnight Jewish camp instills Jewish pride and fosters deep attachments to the Jewish community. This year, we sent 120+ kids to camp and we know costs keep increasing.
Ensuring Jewish tomorrows by building a legacy Our LIFE & LEGACY Program aims to strengthen our community for today and for future generations. Add your signature to the 774 signed commitment letters valuing $21,000,000 by sending an email to Lori Wishne at lori@jewishcolumbus.org
