AFS: supporting Soroka's lifesaving initiatives & research in the Negev through a dedicated community

American Friends of Soroka Medical Center supports Soroka Medical Center, the sole major medical center for the entire south of Israel, saving lives in the Negev and worldwide.

In these tense and hopeful days for Israel, Soroka Medical Center once again stands strong as the nation’s Iron Dome of Health: protecting life, healing the wounded, and serving as a steadfast pillar of strength and compassion for the people of Israel.

As the world prays for the safe return of the hostages, Soroka’s specialized teams and dedicated intensive care units are on standby, fully prepared for any and all circumstances. From the moment these precious lives return home, Soroka will be ready to provide urgent medical care, psychological support, and the healing embrace of compassion.

Just 22 miles from Gaza, Soroka has treated thousands since October 7th, soldiers, civilians, and children alike, standing at the epicenter of Israel’s humanitarian response. Its unwavering commitment, expertise and resilience embody the very spirit of Israel: courage, compassion and hope.

Soroka’s mission reaches beyond medicine, it is the guardian of Israel’s future, ensuring that every person who passes through its doors receives care, dignity, and a path for healing.

Two years since October 7th. A day that changed Israel forever.
At Soroka Medical Center, we stood on the frontlines, treating thousands of casualties and carrying the weight of trauma alongside the people of the Negev.

In the weeks that followed, our teams also cared for returning hostages with compassion and unwavering dedication, helping them begin the long journey of healing.

In the months and years since, even under fire and ongoing attacks, including the missile strike on June 19, 2025, our commitment has never wavered. We continue to provide lifesaving care, compassion, and hope to every patient who walks through our doors.

Through strength, resilience, and unity, we will prevail. 💙💚

Today, we remember the thousands of lives lost, the heroism of first responders, and the enduring impact of 9/11 on America and the world. We also mourn the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, and the crescendo of recent violence that has taken the lives of too many innocent victims. These tragedies reminds us yet again of the profound pain violence inflicts. May the memory of the fallen inspire us to safeguard life and nurture compassion over division.

Yaakov was about to marry his beloved Tair until an RPG missile changed everything. Severely injured, he was airlifted to Soroka Medical Center.

Thanks to the extraordinary care of Soroka’s trauma and orthopedic teams, his dream was not lost. Just two months later, Yaakov and Tair stood under the chuppah in Soroka’s Legacy Heritage Healing Garden, surrounded by family, friends, and the very staff who saved his leg and gave hope when it was needed most.
