Hadassah has two campuses at Ein Kerem and Mount Scopus that together offer 1200-hospital beds and 40 hybrid and advanced operating rooms. Hadassah Medical Center, an initiative of Hadassah organization led by Henrietta Szold, is one of the foremost health care providers in Israel. Together, the Hebrew University and Hadassah are home to Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Public Health, Occupational Therapy, and Dental Medicine. The medical school enrolls over 1000 medical students including a special track for military physicians. Hadassah opened the new Davidson medical tower in 2012 and the development of new infrastructure continues for Centers of Excellence in Surgery, Oncology, Hematology, and Medicine, for the benefit of the public in greater Jerusalem and all of Israel. In this journal, we will present 12 articles that represent the integration of state-of-the-art clinical medicine and research technologies, all dedicated to advancing medicine for the people of Israel.
