Our Hospital
At Shaare Zedek Medical Center we have many exceptional departments that are renowned throughout Israel and worldwide as well as 13 “Centers of Excellence” which are globally recognized for their pioneer innovations in treatment, patient care and research.
In 1994 we opened the Jesselson Heart Center one of Israel’s leading providers of cardiac care.The Center was created in response to a long country-wide waiting list for open-heart surgery and invasive heart procedures such as catheterizations.
Emergency medicine is an ever evolving specialty and Shaare Zedek has always been at the forefront of the newest and most innovative practices, both medically and technologically.
There is nothing as joyous as the birth of a newborn; and bringing newborns into the world is something Shaare Zedek does better than any other hospital in Israel, with 22,000 births in 2018!
The Glaubach Department of Pediatric Emergency Medicine has now been open for several years and is making a significant difference for the children of Jerusalem.
With more than 22,000 annual births being delivered at the hospital its not surprising that some leave the womb not yet ready for the rigors of the outside world. For them, we are proud to be able to offer the services of Shaare Zedek’s Huberfeld Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, known as the NICU.
Shaare Zedek’s Fuld Family Department of Medical Genetics is currently the most prestigious unit in Israel for both research and clinical work. As a center of excellence, the benefits of our research extend far beyond the Jerusalem area.
Shaare Zedek’s new, 6,000 square feet, one-stop multidisciplinary and comprehensive Diagnostic Breast Health Center combines mammography with an integrated, holistic approach that also incorporates ultrasound and MRI imaging.
One of only four Pediatric Dialysis Units in all of Israel, and the largest in the country, Shaare Zedek’s Department of Nephrology is regularly filled beyond capacity, reflecting the critical need that will be served within the Wilf Children’s Hospital.
In recent years, few, if any, medical fields have undergone as dramatic a development as the discipline of gastroenterology. Fueled largely by advancements in medical science allowing physicians and surgeons better imagery of, and access to, critical parts of the digestive system…
Chair of the department Dr. Nathan Cherny has a mandate to introduce a higher level of humanism and personal respect into all aspects of the hospital. The Center uses cosmeticians for patients with chronic diseases.
In 2010 the Surgical Operating Complex at Shaare Zedek Medical Center opened, and is today one of the fastest-growing surgical operating facility in the Jerusalem area.
The surgical procedures include outpatient surgeries, complex open-chest surgeries and much more.
Shaare Zedek launched an ambitious and critical project to prepare the Hospital and the citizens of Jerusalem for all types of mass casualty events – The Matloff Family Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Response Center.
