Assaf HaRofeh Medical Center is on the front lines of life in Israel. The closest hospital to Ben Gurion Airport, with a half a million Israelis in its coastal plain constituency, Assaf HaRofeh is a direct influence in the community. Located between Ben Gurion Airport and Tel Aviv, the third largest hospital in Israel serves towns from Rishon Letzion to Beit Shemesh, an area with a mixed population of new immigrants, Jews, Arabs and many low-income families.
In addition to its superb patient care, Assaf HaRofeh, reaches out to Israelis with a meals-on-wheels program, soup kitchen and an elementary school with medical supervision for students with special needs and medical handicaps. The hospital and its staff have a direct impact on the lives of Israelis. These are some of the reasons Health To Israel was founded to support the hospital.
Assaf HaRofeh shines like a beacon of coexistence in Israel for many races and religions. Whether caring for soldiers, terror victims, new immigrants, expectant mothers or cancer patients, the spectrum of Israeli life is represented in the 900-bed hospital.
Supporting Assaf HaRofeh means directly supporting Israelis in their time of most dire need.
“And you shall not harden your hearts against the poor and the needy, but heal them.” Assaf HaRofeh (long considered the Jewish Hippocrates). From the 1,500-year-old oath for Jewish doctors. His complete 1,000 word oath is still taken today by all students qualifying as physicians in Israel. The Assaf Harofeh Medical Center is dedicated to his spirit and teachings, which have provided inspiration and knowledge to all in the pursuit of healing.
