A Heartfelt Recognition for Hadassah Medical Center on Behalf of the City of Jerusalem At the Jerusalem Business and Economy Conference held on Tuesday, a meaningful and exciting award of recognition was presented to Hadassah Medical Center, in acknowledgment of its dedicated efforts during the Swords of Iron War to support the wounded and care for the thousands of residents from the South who were evacuated to Jerusalem.
The award was presented by the Mayor of Jerusalem, Moshe Lion, during the Jerusalem Business and Economy Conference held at the VERT Hotel Conference Center in Jerusalem. Hadassah’s CEO, Prof. Yoram Weiss, accepted the award on behalf of the medical center. He expressed gratitude for the distinguished recognition and heartfelt appreciation on behalf of the entire Hadassah team across its hospitals in Mount Scopus, Ein Kerem, and the Gandel Rehabilitation Center.
These teams have worked tirelessly throughout the months of war, demonstrating exceptional professionalism, compassion, and humanity. Their dedicated efforts have helped the wounded stand on their feet again and regain abilities lost due to severe injuries. Prof. Yoram Weiss: “Receiving this award of recognition on behalf of the city of Jerusalem and the business and economic community is a moment dedicated to our staff in all departments, units, and services at Hadassah—across all roles and sectors. This week, Hadassah received the most prestigious international standard in the field of medicine: accreditation from the global JCI (Joint Commission International) organization. This certification confirms, through rigorous surveys, that Hadassah excels in all areas of quality care and patient and staff safety. The accreditation awarded to Hadassah is not just an achievement for our medical center but a boon for the entire city of Jerusalem. It supports the city's business and industrial development and attracts biomedical and high-tech companies eager to collaborate with Hadassah’s researchers and physicians to advance medicine and create a healthier, better future for the world. Immediately following the accreditation, we received enthusiastic calls from pharmaceutical companies from various countries, eager to establish immediate partnerships with us. The city of Jerusalem is blessed with excellent medical care and can take pride in the professionals who devote their hearts, expertise, and unparalleled professionalism daily for the benefit of the city's residents and the entire nation. Patients from all over come to receive outstanding medical care from the best specialists. The award we received today, along with the accreditation certification, is a constant reminder of why we are here, for whom we work, and the values that drive our mission. Thank you to Jerusalem's business community!״
