Orlando — The Chaim Society, rooted in the Hebrew word “Chaim” meaning “life”, has quickly grown into a vibrant network of Jewish healthcare professionals across Central Florida. Established in early 2025 by Dr. Daniel Layish and Dr. Solomon “Shlomo” Saul, the organization began as a simple WhatsApp group and has since evolved into a thriving professional society.
The group’s mission is to support healthcare providers while promoting connection, compassion, and service both locally and internationally. Recent meetings have focused on the needs of Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s national emergency medical service, with volunteer paramedics such as Michael Strongin and Yossi Benaim participating in discussions.
The Chaim Society now represents a wide range of medical specialties, offering members opportunities for networking, collaboration, and community service. Its activities include educational sessions, charitable initiatives, and partnerships with global health organizations.
