Meir Medical Center (Hebrew: מרכז רפואי מאיר, Merkaz Refu'i Me'ir) is regional hospital in Kfar Saba, Israel. It is the seventh largest hospital complex in the country,[1] and is part of a network of hospitals owned and operated by Clalit Health Services.
History
[edit | edit source]
The medical facility in Kfar Saba was opened to the public on July 15, 1956, as a hospital for tuberculosis and diseases of the respiratory system.[2] Later in 1962, Meir was turned into a general hospital and is now part of the Sapir Medical Center.[3] Clalit Health Services (formerly known as Kupat Holim Clalit) built the original hospital thanks to the pivotal influence of Dr. Alfred Grünebaum.[4]
Meir Hospital serves the ethnically diverse communities of the highly populated eastern Sharon plain, including Israeli Arab or Palestinian patients from the Triangle towns and villages. The hospital is named after Dr. Joseph Meir (1890–1955). Meir thought healthcare should be an equal public service, without elitism, and worked towards that goal after arriving in Palestine during the Third Aliyah.[2]
Services
[edit | edit source]Meir Hospital teaching departments are affiliated with the Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, while laboratories are affiliated to Bar Ilan University.[5] Meir Medical Center specializes in the treatment of pulmonary diseases and spinal surgery and is accredited under the JCI. It is the base hospital for the Israeli Olympic team.[6]
