The Full Story

FJMC International is committed to improving the Health and Wellness of its members, and as both a cancer survivor and a cardiologist, this is a cause that is close to the heart of Dr. Mitch Ross.

Drs. Heather and Mitch Ross have established the Ross Health & Wellness Fund at the FJMC Foundation for Jewish Life to address the unique physical and mental health challenges faced by men.  Societal expectations and stigma often prevent men from seeking the care they need. To address these disparities, this Fund will provide grants for programs focused on preventive care, early detection of disease, mental health support and education surrounding men’s health topics.
 

By investing in these vital areas, the Fund will contribute to a future where men are equipped with the resources and knowledge to prioritize their health, leading to more fulfilling lives and stronger communities.

Programs at the club, regional or international level that support and promote Men’s Health & Wellness may be eligible for grant support.

If you are interested in learning more about the Fund, or if you would like to make a contribution, please contact the Foundation for Jewish Life Chair for Endowments, Doug Segerman, at doug.segerman@fjmc.org.
