Western Region, Am. Cmte. Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem

Western Region, Am. Cmte. Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem (ACSZ) The American Committee for Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem At the center of the Shaare Zedek complex sits the ten-story main building.

For more than a century, Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, a 1,000-bed facility located in the center of the city, has been known as the “Hospital with a Heart.” Patients have consistently streamed to Shaare Zedekr hospital, seeking top level treatment in a compassionate, supportive and nurturing environment. Today, while Shaare Zedek's reputation as the most exceptional hospital for health care treatment continues to grow, Shaare Zedek has taken its commitment to its patients to the next level by providing industry leading, cutting-edge medical care. Shaare Zedek is located on a sprawling 14-acre campus directly opposite Mount Herzl, making it Jerusalem’s only major centrally located hospital. Since occupying the current location, Shaare Zedek has transformed itself from a respected regional hospital into a major multi-disciplinary medical center with an international reputation for excellence in many specialties, including cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, women’s health, neonatology, oncology and palliative medicine, medical genetics, pediatric neurology, pediatric nephrology, laparoscopic surgery, hand surgery and Gaucher's Disease. The first three stories, housing the hospital’s vital services including the operating theaters, the Emergency Department, Pharmacy and medical and sterile supplies, are all located beneath ground level to ensure all life-saving activities would be allowed to continue in the event of war. In recent years, the hospital has gained an unfortunately large amount of experience dealing with the effects of terrorism, treating a disproportionately higher number of victims of attacks relative to other area hospitals. During this period, the hospital has strengthened its historic relationship with the Israel Defense Forces, and today Shaare Zedek serves as a peacetime military hospital, treating more than 12,000 soldiers a year. The hospital also works with the IDF in areas of emergency preparedness and is designated as the regional center for the treatment of victims of chemical and biological attack.

Thanks to the swift and expert intervention of the Shaare Zedek Medical Center Interventional Neuroradiology team at the Helmsley Neurology Center, the life of a three-year-old boy who suffered a rare stroke has been saved.

The child, who suffered a venous stroke after recovering from measles, required two emergency brain catheterization procedures. In a feat almost unheard of in children this young, Dr. Vladimir Boroditzky, Director of the Brain Catheterization Unit, successfully placed a brain stent to restore blood flow.

“This type of stroke is seen in only about one percent of all cases, and performing a stent procedure on a toddler is almost unprecedented,” explained Dr. Boroditzky. “Normally, we would begin with drug therapy, but the blockages were so severe that medication simply wasn’t an option.”

In close consultation with experts from the emergency department, pediatric intensive care, pediatric neurology, and neurosurgery, the team made the bold decision to proceed with the high-risk catheterization.

"During the procedure, we had to drain a large volume of blood from the delicate cerebral vessels, all while knowing that a child has far fewer reserves than an adult," Dr. Boroditzky recalled. “Every move demanded absolute precision...Thanks to our expertise in treating children and toddlers in extremely complex cases, we knew we would be able to perform the task, and fortunately the child's condition improved."

👶Did you know Shaare Zedek Medical Center is home to the largest maternity ward in Israel and most likely the largest in the entire world!? With more than 22,000 births a year, we're honored to be trusted with the care of Jerusalem's tiniest patients - every birth is a blessing, and every family is a part of ours.

In times of crisis, Shaare Zedek Medical Center Jerusalem and our incredible maternity staff didn't miss a beat - setting up a fully functioning underground ward within hours to ensure that every mother and baby was safe. Our staff, who have been juggling, working 12-hour shifts (some even sleeping at the hospital!) while also navigating their own family situations, still found the strength and heart to design and create these adorable baby onesies - a small gesture to honor the heroic moms and lift spirits during an unimaginably challenging time.🩵
