The Judisman Family Charitable Foundation will contribute NIS 200 million to the facility, which will include 540 inpatient beds, a hydrotherapy pool, green spaces, and a trauma clinic.
Israel's largest rehabilitation hospital will be built in Sde Rov, North Tel Aviv, thanks to a NIS 200 million donation anchored by the Judisman Family Charitable Foundation, according to an announcement on Monday.
The Judisman Rehabilitation Hospital is set to open in 2032 and is one of the most ambitious social infrastructure projects in Tel Aviv's history, with a total funding of NIS 1.1 billion. The facility, in partnership with the Tel Aviv Foundation and the Reuth Association, will include approximately 540 beds to serve 10,000 patients annually.
According to the Health Ministry's 2023 equity report, Israel averages 1.7 rehabilitation beds per 1,000 residents, with demand only intensifying since Oct. 7. This project aims to improve this situation and Israeli healthcare in general.
"The establishment of the new Jusidman Rehabilitation Hospital is another significant step toward strengthening Israel's rehabilitation healthcare system," said Ron Huldai, mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo and chairman of the Tel Aviv Foundation. "Tel Aviv-Yafo, a leading city in public health, is mobilizing to address rehabilitation needs, which have become increasingly urgent for wounded soldiers, trauma victims, and others seeking a real opportunity to return to an independent and fulfilling life."
Once construction is complete, the Reuth Rehabilitation Hospital in Yad Eliyahu will relocate to this new campus, which will feature expanded innovative facilities, including stroke and traumatic brain injury recovery, a hydrotherapy pool, a research hub, and green spaces for patients and their families.
"In its 50th year, the Tel Aviv Foundation has chosen to place hope at the center of its work," said Dr. Hila Oren, CEO of the Tel Aviv Foundation. "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."
The new hospital will also offer a PTSD clinic for IDF veterans to address the supply and demand gap for rehabilitation services in Israel.
The remaining funding for this project will come from municipal, governmental, and private sources, the foundation's statement explained.
