The Friends of Soroka Medical Center was recognized Soroka’s vital importance for Israel in general and for the Negev in particular.
The Friends of Soroka
assists in the development of the hospital and is essential in ensuring that
its vital needs are met. It provides moral support, social assistance, and organizational
and budgetary help throughout the hospital, contributing to the wellbeing of
the Negev community.
The first public event
held by the Friends took place in early 1988, and focused on the Cardiology
Institute. Since then, it has held annual events for the benefit of Soroka.
The entire proceeds of
each year's event are dedicated to a particular designated unit within the
medical center.
Members of the Friends of
Soroka perform a variety of tasks and take on many challenges, all of which aim
to ensure that Soroka offers professional medical services of the highest
standards to the citizens of the Negev and to the IDF soldiers who serve in the
South of Israel and on the southern front.
All of this work is done
on a completely voluntary basis. Since the creation of the
Friends of Soroka, the
generous donations and support of its members and donors have enabled it to
purchase essential equipment and fund vital projects for the hospital, helping
to bridge the gap between the level of healthcare in the center of Israel and
that in the South.
The Friends works to
deepen the connection between the local community and the hospital and to raise
awareness among Israelis of Soroka Medical Center’s status as a world-class
hospital and a strategic asset in times of peace and war alike.
The generous donations of
the residents of the Negev, the business and industrial sectors, and the
workers’ unions through the Friends of Soroka enable Soroka, via its executive
management, to purchase state of- the-art medical equipment for various
hospital departments and support essential projects.
Over the last
several years, the Friends of Soroka has focused on many such projects at
Soroka, among them:
- Reconstructing and upgrading the Cardiology Department
- Equipping the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department
- Equipping the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department
- Equipping the Intensive Care Unit
- Reconstructing and upgrading the Pediatrics Department
- Purchasing advanced equipment for the Neurosurgery Department
- Constructing the new and completely protected (safe from missile fire) Neonatal Unit
Soroka Medical
Center constantly strives to develop and to serve the Negev’s population in the
most professional way possible. Partner with us to raise the financial
resources essential to Soroka’s success in achieving these goals.
