The Bnai Zion Medical Center was established in 1922 as the first Jewish hospital in Haifa. Throughout the years, we have provided dedicated medical care, education, research and services to the diverse and growing population of Northern Israel.
In a recent national newspaper survey, Bnai Zion Medical Center was voted third best in all of Israel, and number one in Haifa and Northern Israel.
Some Numbers....
 A general hospital of 450 beds
Average of 142,000 visits per year to 65 outpatient clinics
More than 65,000 visits to the Emergency Room annually
14,000 surgeries per year
3,500 deliveries per year
1,800 employees
The Bnai Zion Medical Center, a municipal-governmental hospital, proudly provides excellent medical care combined with a warm and caring touch. A great focus is given to rehabilitation activities, offering orthopedic rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation, cardio rehabilitation, physical therapy and occupational therapy.
When Every Second Counts
The hospital is in a constant state of readiness, and at any moment must be prepared to receive victims of terror. At such times of national emergency, the entire medical center shifts into crisis mode, and within moments receives the severely wounded victims, all of whom are in critical need of trauma care.
A Microcosm of Tomorrow's World
The staff and patients of the Bnai Zion Medical Center reflect the diversity of population of Northern Israel. Christian and Muslim Arabs, Druze and Jewish physicians and staff work together every day as a unified team to bring the absolute best medical care to every patient who enters the hospital, regardless of beliefs or background.
A Special Honor
Due to the medical center's high standards and the excellence of its service and staff, the state of Israel has designated it an official military hospital, serving the medical needs of soldiers of the Haifa area. During and after the Second Lebanon War (2006), the hospital treated civilians, and provided ongoing rehabilitation services to servicemen and women who were wounded in the line of duty.
Academic Involvement
Bnai Zion Medical Center is affiliated with The Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine of the Technion (Israel Institute of Technology) and serves as a teaching hospital for its students. Many of our heads of departments and senior physicians are on its faculty and are associated with its varied and wide-ranging medical research activities. The hospital also operates one of Israel's oldest schools of nursing, offering an academic degree in this field.
