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. 7/ March 27 • 5-8 p.m. Open House 81 Dinner RSVP Today I. Call or visit The Park today!
