Dear Friend of Herzog Hospital, While everyday life can face unexpected delays, care at Herzog Hospital never pauses. When sirens sounded in Jerusalem this past year, our team transferred over 300 of our most medically fragile patients—many on ventilators—to our Sheltered Underground Hospital. While threats continued above, lifesaving care never stopped. For 132 years, Herzog has promised exceptional medical care to the people of Israel whenever and wherever it is needed. Today, however, that need extends far beyond our protective…

Dr. Yehezkel Caine, President and former CEO of Herzog Hospital, was featured in the Intermountain Jewish News in Denver, Colorado. It was part of their special edition celebrating America’s 250th  anniversary. The article highlights Dr. Caine’s career as the Surgeon-General of the Israel Air Force and the President of the International Aerospace Medicine Association. It gives special attention to Herzog Hospital, the oldest hospital in Israel, now celebrating its own 132-year Anniversary since its establishment. It discusses our focus on comprehensive geriatric care, physical…

For the third time in the last twelve months, our patients were moved to our Sheltered Underground Hospital soon after the first missiles were fired from Iran this week. June, 2025 — February, 2026 — and now again this June. The resilient, automatic call to action of our staff to slowly and carefully move each patient downstairs cannot be sufficiently commended. One bed at a time into the elevator with several staff members accompanying the bed, and attached equipment-especially for…

After more than 40 days in our Sheltered Underground Hospital, we are grateful to share that our most vulnerable patients — nearly 300 in total — have now been safely returned to their regular wards. Once again, they can see and feel the warmth of natural sunlight from their rooms. Within just 36 hours of the outbreak of the war with Iran and Hezbollah at the beginning of March, Herzog’s staff carried out the complex and delicate operation of transferring…

As we approach Giving Tuesday, it is most appropriate to honour one who has given, and who continues to give, so much of his time and energy to help those in need. Herzog Medical Centre’s Chairman of the Board, Mr. Shamai Keinan, was recently awarded the Israel Presidential Award for Volunteerism. At a special ceremony hosted by Israel’s President Isaac Herzog and his wife Michal at the President’s residence, Shamai was recognized for his decades of service in the capacity…

Dear Friend of Herzog Hospital, For 131 years, since its establishment in 1894, Herzog Medical Center in Jerusalem has provided essential health care for all Israelis through every war Israel has faced. Over and over again, Herzog has demonstrated its historic resilience – first during the October 7th war with Hamas, and most recently during the war with Iran in June 2025. As we enter this New Year with hopes for better days for Israel, we are preparing for the constantly increasing…

In the wake of Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, a massive wave of retaliation is underway.Thanks to the professionalism of our medical and logistics staff, within a matter of hours on Friday, we were able to transfer many of our patients to our protected underground facility. Beds, heart monitors, respirators were relocated to care for these patients. The Sheltered Underground hospital was specifically built in the Samson building for exactly the situation which Israel is experiencing now.     The attached video will give you a…

Herzog Hospital was on emergency alert status, ready to receive patients evacuated from other hospitals and nursing homes in the Jerusalem area impacted by the fires last week. We immediately readied our underground emergency facility with 100 beds to receive patients.  We also activated our underground dialysis unit. And because Herzog maintains the largest Children’s Chronic Respiratory Care Department in Israel, the Ministry of Health requested that we prepare 20 beds to receive children requiring full respiratory support from other hospitals…
