Dear Friends,
As one of the few hospitals in Israel tasked by the Ministry of Health with caring for patients with coronavirus, Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem is a leader on the front lines to fight this highly contagious and dangerous disease. This week, we took on a new, critical role at the Israeli government's request, ramping up testing for the virus, a crucial step in preventing the spread of this global pandemic.
“The State of Israel is at war with coronavirus. There’s a national state of emergency in which there’s a huge threat to life, the economy, and our society," Hadassah Medical Organization Director General Zeev Rotstein stated flatly in a letter outlining steps Hadassah is taking to treat more patients.
Working with colleagues at other designated coronavirus hospitals, Prof. Rotstein is driving the initiative to immediately ramp up the number of tests administered in Israel.
We hope you’ll join our efforts to bolster Hadassah’s response to this worldwide pandemic.
With Pride, Passion and Purpose,
Rhoda Smolow
Hadassah National President
