Soroka is one of Israel's leading medical centers and
the only tertiary medical center in southern Israel.
We provide care to more than 1 million people who reside in a region that comprises 60% of the land area of the country.
Soroka's mission is of critical strategic importance to the State of Israel.
As a long-time resident of the South and having received my medical education at Soroka Medical Center from medical school and residency onward,
I am a strong believer in the importance of the Negev to the State of Israel and of Soroka to the Negev.
Soroka fulfills the vision of excellence, collaboration, and interaction between medicine and the community.
There is a quality and an intimacy here that exists nowhere else in Israel.
I am grateful for your support and friendship, and look forward to partnering with you to further advance Soroka and,
through Soroka, to strengthen Israel.
A warm welcome to Soroka and to our community.
Dr. Shlomi Codish
Director General
Soroka Medical Center
