Bishvilaych

What Bishvilaych does

Bishvilaych (Hebrew: feminine form of "for you") is a registered Israeli nonprofit organization founded in 2004 by Sara Siemiatycki, with co-founder Dr. Diana Flescher, to address a documented gender gap in health outcomes for women in Israel, particularly religious women. Headquartered at Am Veolamo St 6, Givat Shaul, Jerusalem, with a second branch opened in February 2018 at Raphael Medical Center in Bnei Brak, Bishvilaych operates as the first and only non-profit women's health organization in Israel focused on preventative medical care, education, and outreach. The organization delivers comprehensive single-visit women's health assessments (breast and gynecological screening, nutrition counseling, mental health support) through an all-female clinical staff, alongside a suite of community programs including the "Your Health is in Your Hands" breast health awareness program, "Take Heart!" cardiovascular initiative, "ACT" bridal education program, and "Pnimah" eating disorders program, plus a personalized prenatal care program launched in 2018. The COVID-19 women's health hotline was added in 2020.

The core technology is a culturally tailored prevention-based care delivery model rather than a software product: approximately one hour per patient, all-female staff, modesty-sensitive environment, and sliding-scale fees designed for a population where only 2% of ultra-orthodox women access health information via the internet. The model is supported by clinical training partnerships (Henrietta Szold Hadassah School of Nursing), medical advisor affiliations with Columbia University, NYU, and Kaplan Medical Center, and formal rabbinic approbations from leading Haredi authorities.

Bishvilaych generates revenue through a hybrid nonprofit model: (1) tax-deductible donations accepted in Israel, the U.S., the U.K., and Canada, channeled in part through the Daily Giving micro-donation platform; (2) program grants from the Jewish Federation of Chicago and Jewish Women's Foundation of Metropolitan Chicago; (3) low sliding-scale fees for medical appointments that are partially reimbursable through Israeli health funds (Kupot Cholim); and (4) operational partnerships with health funds (notably Leumit) and corporate sponsors such as Matrix Global. The organization's primary customer segment is Ultra-Orthodox Jewish women in Israel, with secondary segments including low-SES religious communities, school staff in the Take Heart program, and medical/nursing students in clinical training.

Emerging players

• Maven Clinic: Digital women's and family health platform offering virtual care across fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and gynecology. Comparable on the women's health focus and serving time-constrained women, but delivers digitally rather than through in-person clinic visits.
• Tia: Women's health clinic and virtual care platform focused on preventive, whole-person women's health with integrated gynecology, primary care, and mental health. Comparable single-visit comprehensive model, though secular and digitally enabled.
• Oula Health: Women's health provider combining midwifery-led pregnancy care with gynecology and primary care. Directly comparable to Bishvilaych's prenatal program, which similarly features assigned midwives and personalized pregnancy care.
• Kindbody: Women's reproductive health company with clinics and virtual services spanning fertility, gynecology, and wellness. Comparable on women's preventive care delivery and prenatal/fertility offerings that overlap with Bishvilaych's prenatal program.

Direct peers

• Planned Parenthood: US nonprofit providing preventive reproductive and women's health care, education, and outreach to underserved populations. Closest structural analog to Bishvilaych as a nonprofit women's health organization combining clinical services with community education.
• Tipat Chalav (Family Health Stations): Israel's national network of mother-and-child preventive health stations providing women's health, prenatal, and infant care visits. Directly comparable as a community-based preventive women's health delivery model funded by government and health funds in Israel.

Others

• Linda Joy Pollin Cardiovascular Wellness Institute for Women: Hadassah-affiliated institute for women's cardiovascular health that partners with Bishvilaych on the Take Heart program. Comparable as a thematic partner operating in women's preventive health, but functions as a program partner rather than competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Clalit Health Services – Women's Health Centers: Israel's largest health fund operates dedicated women's health centers providing preventive screenings, prenatal care, and gynecological services. Comparable as the dominant incumbent women's health provider that Bishvilaych complements for religious women seeking modesty-sensitive care.
• Hadassah Medical Organization – Women's Health: Major Israeli hospital system with extensive women's health services and an academic nursing school that partners with Bishvilaych. Comparable as a large-scale women's health provider with academic training programs.
