Overview
If you want to be surrounded by experienced, educated, engaging and endearing Hadassah women, join us at Hadassah Florida Broward. From compelling guest speakers to advocacy work to fun, social programs (a game of Mahjong, anyone?), we have it all.
Florida Broward women never say no to a challenge and continue filling vital leadership roles. Our members are dedicated to one another in true sisterhood. For example, when a dear member had to go on dialysis, we set a goal of funding a dialysis unit at Hadassah’s hospitals in her honor.
Our advocacy work centers around social causes. We create programs focused on personal health and well-being, including heart health, mind and body. We are committed to Jewish education and Israel. And our commitment to Hadassah’s hospitals – a beacon of hope and healing – supports cutting-edge research and treatments. Join us.
