The hospital has departments for all types of diseases, and some departments are the only ones of their kind in the Jerusalem area. Specialized centers such as the Patricia and Russell Fleischman Center for Women's Health, the Marlene Greenbaum Multidisciplinary Breast Center, and the Center for Brain Diseases and the Heart Institute are unique in Israel. The high competence of doctors guarantees patients high-quality medical care. Hospital gardens provide green space for emotional support for patients and staff.

Jerusalem is the religious and historical epicenter of the world. A surreal and vibrant city, sacred to Jews, Muslims and Christians - more than a third of all people on earth. The city is located between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world.

The Old City is full of historical and religious elements that make this city so unique. The Old City inside is divided into four quarters - Jewish, Christian, Arabic, and Armenian. The Western Wall, or the Wailing Wall, is the last surviving wall of what was once a Jewish temple. Today it is the holiest place in the world for Jews. Jerusalem is known primarily for its religious significance but is also home to many artistic and cultural centers. The city houses the Israel Museum and the Biblical Lands Museum. The national memorial Yad Vashem contains the world's most extensive library of Holocaust-related information.

However, Jerusalem is not all old. Modern West Jerusalem is the capital of modern Israel. Modern Jerusalem has the shops and institutions which guests would expect anywhere. All buildings in Jerusalem are required by law to be lined with the magical golden stone for which the town is famous. In the western part, there is also the famous Mahne Yehuda Market, the largest market in Jerusalem, with over 250 vendors. Mahne Yehuda Market is one of the busiest parts of the city. In the Ein Karem area is also Hadassah University Medical Center Jerusalem - one of the largest medical providers in the country. The hospital is known for its scientific discoveries and high efficiency of treatment.

Jerusalem is like no other. It is a city where the old and the new fight for space. The city does not stop progressing, accelerating its pace and updating itself. But among the daily bustle, there is always a place for religion.
