Karmanos lands Jewish Fund grant for breast
cancer services at Farmington Hills location.
T
he Barbara Ann Karmanos
Cancer Institute was awarded
a $225,000 grant from the
Jewish Fund to relocate the Maisel
Women's Health Center of West
Bloomfield to the Lawrence and Idell
Weisberg Cancer Treatment Center in
Farmington Hills.
The grant, to be distributed over
three years, is part of nearly $2.3 mil-
lion in grants approved by the Detroit
Jewish community's Jewish Fund late
last year.
The Maisel Women's Health Center,
previously operated by the Detroit
Medical Center (DMC), was closed in
2006. The Karmanos Cancer Institute
will transfer services from the Maisel
Center to the Weisberg Center, which
is being renovated for the Maisel com-
prehensive breast cancer services.
"Expanding the Weisberg Cancer
Treatment Center to include the
Maisel Breast Imaging Center will
ultimately result in better and more
efficient medical care for people living
nearby, who would otherwise suffer
the loss of their premier breast imag-
ing center," said John C. Ruckdeschel,
president and chief executive officer of
Karmanos.
The facility will offer mammo-
grams, breast ultrasound and breast
biopsies. Services will expand to
include additional mammography
units and nurse practitioner consulta-
tive services.
Pesach Food Distribution
For the 15th year, Yad Ezra and the
Moies Chetim Organization of Detroit
will join to distribute Passover food
packages to more than 1,200 needy
Jewish families in the community.
Every family will receive a package
containing chicken, matzah, soup mix,
grape juice, gefilte fish, eggs, horse-
radish, coffee cake mix, matzah meal,
macaroons, produce and other items
specifically for the holiday.
The March 25-26 distribution is
handled by 60 volunteers directed by
Yad Ezra staff members Elaine Ryke,
Bernie Phillips and Linda Chordash.
Berkley-based Yad Ezra opened its
doors in 1990 in response to the grow-
ing number of impoverished Jewish
families living in the Detroit communi-
ty. The Yad Ezra/Moies Chetim Passover
Appeal enables the food pantry to dis-
tribute almost 46,000 pounds of food
for this effort.
When dad died a year ago,
I watched helplessly as my
fun-loving, outgoing mom
stayed home most nights.
When she visited The Park
at Trowbridge, she quickly
saw residents interacting
and enjoying activities
together. She leaves for
breakfast at 8:30 and
sometimes doesn't return to
her apartment until evening.

Helping In Uruguay
A group of 21 University of Michigan students and two U-M Hillel staff
members traveled to Montevideo, Uruguay, to participate in community
service with the nonprofit organization One Roof for Uruguay. They were
paired with Jewish Uruguayan college students and were able to build
three emergency residences for families in poor, outlying neighborhoods
that surround Montevideo. Pictured are Evan Seigerman, Ann Arbor;
Deeana Robin, Los Angeles; Justin Benson and Lindsay Canvasser, both of
West Bloomfield; Naomi Kane of Brooklyn; Sydney Tuchman, Ann Arbor;
and Rachel Brody, West Bloomfield.
