History
[edit | edit source].jpg){kind=link}
The origins of this medical institution date back to a design by Alexander Baerwald in 1924. The hospital was opened on April 29, 1930. In 1932 it was temporarily closed due to lack of funds.[1] Through the years the hospital gradually grew into one of the biggest medical facilities in Israel. Nowadays the hospital serves about 700,000 residents of the adjacent region. The hospital has about 1,900 employees.[2]
The hospital is located at an altitude of about 500 meters northeast of Afula, off of Highway 65.[3]
The hospital is said to be a place of Arab-Israeli co-existence, and the two peoples work closely together. [4][5][6]
