HADASSAH believes in building a world where our Jewish values in action create strong community and an enduring Israel. That’s why our entire focus is on connecting and empowering Jewish women to effect change. We’ve done this for over 100 years, and we will do it for the next 100 — advancing health and well-being, advocating for women, and building community in the US and Israel. In Jerusalem, Hadassah Medical Organization is a beacon of healing: an ultra-modern complex that rivals the finest hospitals and research facilities anywhere in the world. We treat one million patients a year without regard to race, religion or nationality. In fact, Hadassah Medical Organization was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
