LEV Medical guides patients and families through the most complex and rare medical challenges with expert advocacy, support, and care that feels like family

OUR Founder

Pessie Schalfrig

Lev Health was founded by Pessie Schalfrig, who spent over a decade at Chaim Medical Resource—one of the most respected medical advocacy organizations in the world—where she became known for taking on the cases no one else could solve. Her approach combines deep medical research, creative problem-solving, and the refusal to accept a dead end as final.

He founded Lev Health to make this caliber of advocacy available to every family that needs it, regardless of means or geography.

Lev Medical : The Breath of Life

Lev Health exists because no family should face a medical crisis alone. We bring world-class advocacy, deep medical research, and global specialist connections to patients and families at the moment they need it most.

We are not a hospital. We are not a health plan. We are the people who stand beside you when the medical world feels overwhelming—who translate the confusion into clarity, who find the specialist others couldn’t locate, who answer the phone at 2 a.m. because your situation can’t wait until morning.

As an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every service we provide is free of charge. Our mission is simple: to protect every breath of life.
