MANHASSET, NY – Rabbi Dr. Hillel Fox, director of spiritual services at North Shore University Hospital has received the Healthcare Chaplain of the Year Award at the recent international Rabbinical Council of America Conference.
Along with his pastoral duties, Rabbi Fox serves as co-chair of the Northwell Health Multifaith Spiritual Care BERG (Business Employee Resource Group) launched earlier this year; he is also the founder and past co-chair of the Jewish Bridges BERG. In addition, he was a founder and co-chair of the North Shore University Hospital BERG Ambassadors. BERGs were established at Northwell, New York State’s largest private employer, to enhance engagement, innovation, talent development and to promote an inclusive culture ensuring the delivery of culturally sensitive quality patient care.
“I am so honored to receive this recognition from the Rabbinical Council of America that acknowledges the vital work performed daily by the members of our Chaplaincy team here at Northwell,” said Rabbi Fox. “Our mission is to meet with our patients and their families, as well as our staff, during the most critical and sensitive times of their lives and to offer them compassionate care and spiritual support.”
While Rabbi Fox serves the greater hospital community in several capacities, he’s first and foremost accessible to patients and their families. Prior to receiving this award, Rabbi Fox was invited to meet with the President of Israel, Isaac Herzog, who offered the following statement of recognition:
“As the President of the state of Israel and on behalf of Medinat Yisrael (the state of Israel), I want to congratulate Rabbi Dr. Hillel Fox for being honored by the Rabbinical Council of America as the Chaplain of the Year.”
