Senator Howard Metzenbaum
Former Ohio Senator Howard Metzenbaum, founding Honorary Chairman of the American Friends of Rabin Medical Center (AFRMC), died at the age of 90 in March. Metzenbaum, a Cleveland native, served three full terms as a United States senator, retiring in 1995. His involvement began prior to Rabin Medical Center receiving its name, when it was known as American Friends of Beilinson, and he was there in 1995 for the transformation of the institution that would from then on be known as Rabin Medical Center. Senator Metzenbaum was the highest profile American public figure to be a champion for AFRMC efforts and he was responsible for helping to produce videos of the hospital that helped Rabin Medical Center gain world-wide recognition. AFRMC has today evolved into a respected and successful organization in good measure because of the Senator's devotion.
