Medical Care
Our Medical Director, Dr. Fraser Miller, MD, CPSO, along with four other attending physicians, address the medical needs of all residents. Each physician conducts weekly visits and provides 24/7 rotational on-call emergency coverage, ensuring that comprehensive care is always available.
Residents may retain their personal physician, provided that the physician signs an agreement with Hillel Lodge and is available around the clock.
