New Tel Aviv rehabilitation hospital aims to target Israel's lack of beds with NIS 1.1 billion

Tel Aviv is set to become home to Israel's largest rehabilitation hospital, a significant social infrastructure project aimed at tackling the nation's shortage of specialized care beds. The Judisman Rehabilitation Hospital, slated to open in 2032, will be built in Sde Dov, North Tel Aviv, with a total investment of NIS 1.1 billion.

The project received a substantial boost with a NIS 200 million contribution from the Judisman Family Charitable Foundation. This initiative is a partnership between the Tel Aviv Foundation and the Reuth Association, and it is expected to serve approximately 10,000 patients annually with its 540 inpatient beds.

The establishment of the new Jusidman Rehabilitation Hospital is another significant step toward strengthening Israel's rehabilitation healthcare system.

Israel faces a critical need for rehabilitation services, with the Health Ministry reporting an average of only 1.7 rehabilitation beds per 1,000 residents in 2023. This demand has intensified significantly since October 7, making the new hospital's development a pressing concern. "The establishment of the new Jusidman Rehabilitation Hospital is another significant step toward strengthening Israel's rehabilitation healthcare system," stated Ron Huldai, mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo.

The new campus will house advanced facilities for stroke and traumatic brain injury recovery, a hydrotherapy pool, a dedicated research hub, and therapeutic green spaces. Notably, it will also include a PTSD clinic specifically for IDF veterans, addressing a growing need for mental health support. The project's remaining funding will be sourced from municipal, governmental, and private contributions.

In its 50th year, the Tel Aviv Foundation has chosen to place hope at the center of its work. The generous donation from the Jusidman Family Charitable Foundation demonstrates how strategic philanthropy, led by the Tel Aviv Foundation, can turn an urban vision into a reality that changes lives and strengthens the resilience of Tel Aviv-Yafo and the State of Israel.
