L-R: Yvonne and Barry Cohen, Dr. Dean Ad-El
In the middle of August during the Israel-Lebanon war, Stephen and Yvette Cohen Pomerantz hosted an event at their New York City home with Dr. Dean Ad-El, Director of Plastic Surgery at Rabin Medical Center. Dr. Ad-El spoke to the assembled about "Israel & Rabin Medical Center Facing War," and a new piece of equipment for burn treatment was donated.
Only one day after he became Israel's Minister of Finance in October 2005, Ehud Olmert, the now interim
Prime Minister, visited Rabin Medical Center.
For the estimated 250 million people worldwide who suffer from rare diseases, there is little hope for diagnosis or treatment. Because each individual disease impacts so few people, hardly any funding is allocated to research, leaving many without medical options.
On June 5th, 2006, Rabin Medical Center was honored to host
Rabbi Richard Yellin and a delegation from Temple Emeth in
Delray Beach, Florida.
