Recent Updates:

Corum Chooses JFS

Corum Specialty Infusion Services, a Northern VA company, recently chose JFS as a preferred provider to care for clients needing IV therapy in the Richmond area. Corum chose JFS over other area agencies because of the high caliber and extensive experience of its nursing staff.

Most patients have infections treated by an infusion of antibiotics through a PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) line that runs

from the client’s arm directly to the heart. PICC lines are less invasive and result in fewer complications than other forms of IV therapy. JFS nurses maintain the PICC lines, draw blood for lab tests, and most importantly, teach the client or caregiver to use the line. With JFS' help, clients can recover comfortably at home.

Shamash Award Presented at

160th JFS Annual Meeting

Shelley and Richard Birnbaum are the 2009 recipients of the JFS
Shamash award, presented by JFS Chief Executive Officer, Larry
Jackson, at the 160th JFS Annual Meeting in April.

In presenting theaward, Jackson noted that, as the lead candle on the Menorah, the Shamash is symbolic of those who extend the light of their leadershipto others, just as Shelley and Richard have done over the years to JFS and to the Richmond Jewish community.

Shelley is a former JFS Board member and Richard is a Trustee for the JFS SupportingFoundation. They have also supported JFS through the Create A Jewish Legacy program which, as Jackson noted, is critical to the
ability of JFS to continue serving the community in years to come.
