The Yuri Shtern Holistic Center

50,000 cancer patients, trauma survivors, and their families have already received care from us. Now, we need you so we can continue being there for them.

For 20 years, the Yuri Shtern Holistic Support Center has served as an anchor of support, hope, and care for cancer patients and their families.

When the war broke out, we didn't stop. On the contrary—we expanded our operations. Our therapists traveled across the country to provide care and support to trauma victims, evacuees, and reservists.

Now, the organization itself is fighting for its life.
The combined impact of the ongoing war and massive budget cuts from the Ministry of Health has severely crippled our ability to operate, putting the center at immediate risk of closure.

Your donation today is our lifeline. It will allow us to get back on our feet, keep our doors open to those in need, and continue providing care, support, and hope to people facing the most difficult moments of their lives.

Help us continue being there for them.

The Yuri Shtern Holistic Center provides thousands of complementary medicine treatments and emotional support sessions each year to people coping with cancer, their family members, and individuals facing trauma and other life crises.

Since its establishment in 2007, the Center has been guided by the belief that true healing addresses both the body and the mind.

Nearly 200 professional volunteer therapists provide a wide range of treatments, including touch therapies, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and psychotherapy, at the Center's community clinics in Jerusalem and Herzliya, as well as at Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

Since the events of October 7, the Center has significantly expanded its activities, providing thousands of additional treatments to survivors of the war, evacuated communities, security forces, medical teams, and communities affected by the conflict through its network of therapists and the Amit Man Holistic Mobile.

Every donation helps us continue providing professional care, strengthen the emotional resilience of those we serve, and expand our reach so that everyone in need can receive support - both in everyday life and during times of emergency.

The Center was founded in 2007 in memory of Dr. Yuri Shtern, a Member of the Israeli Knesset, by his widow, Lena Shtern, and their family.
Today, it continues to fulfill its vision of providing professional, compassionate, and accessible care to everyone who needs it.
