Mission of Shaare Zedek
The American Committee for Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem provides financial support to fund services, capital projects, research and the purchase of equipment for Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem. Founded in 1902, Shaare Zedek has been known for more than a century as the Hospital with a Heart. Patients stream to Shaare Zedek seeking top level treatment in a compassionate, supportive and nurturing environment. Today, with international accreditation, Shaare Zedek provides industry leading, cutting-edge medical care and its reputation continues to grow – “Innovative Medicine in the Heart of Jerusalem.”
This war is beyond anything we have ever known, and the repercussions are being felt throughout the entire Hospital. We are currently focused on ensuring we are prepared, on all levels, for an increase in terror attacks and unrest within our cities and the Jerusalem corridor. There is an immediate need to purchase equipment in the total amount of over $5 million. Our mandate has always been to respond to the medical needs of the community we are blessed to serve, and we are working tirelessly to uphold that commitment. To do so we will need the continued support of our friends around the world. Learn more about Shaare Zedek’s critical needs.
