The Rofeh Cholim Cancer Society (RCCS) is an American-based organization dedicated towards helping cancer patients receive the best medical care available. It was founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1997 by businessman Rabbi Hershel Kohn.[1]

The Society exists through a network of fund-raising activities.[2][3] It also organizes assemblies where orthodox Jews gather to pray on behalf of the sick.[4]
