HERZOG is recognized for excellence in all three of these areas. For example, the elderly lose 1/2% of their muscle…

Dear Friend of Herzog Hospital, The world is watching with concern the missile barrages on Israel. In response to these reprehensible and cowardly acts of violence, Herzog Hospital has rapidly opened a second department in our new Medical Pavilion to accept patients from hospitals in the south of Israel.

Dear Friend of Herzog Hospital, Over 150 people from four different organizations from across America attended a moving ceremony at Herzog Hospital to donate 118 custom designed wheelchairs for the children and adults in Herzog’s Children’s Chronic Respiratory Department, and Adult Respiratory Department. Spearheaded by the Forster Family Foundation, these wheelchairs have enabled our children to sit up, and not just lie in their beds. The children can now be taken outside for fresh air, and see their environment, while still…

Abnormal cell density in the skin of dementia patients is the likely reason that they are more susceptible to wounds such as pressure ulcers. Dr. Efraim Jaul, director of geriatric skilled nursing at Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, noticed that many patients with dementia, and especially those with Alzheimer’s disease, seemed more prone to developing pressure ulcers (bedsores). He has published three research papers over the past few years showing a clear link between dementia and pressure ulcers. It occurred to…
