UTSW was the first to recognize the need and provide access to Bikur Cholim of Dallas to visit Jewish patients and deliver care packages.  By enabling BCD to meet with patients, BCD was able to provide additional support services, including, free medical equipment from the Sarah Shahanoff medical equipment gemach, kosher meals , transportation and housing for their clients.  By having the foresight to provide access through their chaplain's office, BCD has delivered over 1000 Shabbos care packages to Jewish patients and their families.  UTSW is not just at the forefront of medicine, they are at the forefront of health support initiatives in the Dallas and North Texas community.
