HADDASAH MEDICAL ORGANIZATION – HADASSAH FIRSTS
By: Dr. Karen Ezrine
Did you know that one of the immunotherapy drugs used to treat macular degeneration and a number of cancers came out of research developed at Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO)? Avastin is only one of the breakthroughs developed by Hadassah researchers. Hadassah is known for excellence in clinical care, education, and research and through collaboration with centers around the world, has developed breakthroughs that not only benefit the people of Israel, but to many around the globe. During her talk of “Hadassah Firsts”, Dr. Karen Ezrine will touch on just a few areas that make Hadassah among the leading centers in the world. HMO has been cited by US News and World Reports as a leader in cardiology, oncology, and smart tech. The dual robot system for treatment of complicated orthopedic procedures was first tested at Hadassah; other pharma and tech companies choose HMO as a partner to test new products and treatment modalities. Additionally, it is Hadassah to whom other countries turned to for help in managing the Covid crisis; and Hadassah provided the first intake clinic in Poland to treat many Ukrainian refugees.
Israel is truly the “start-up nation” on so many levels.
Everyone is invited to hear more about these topics. Please join the Israel and Overseas Committee and Hadassah and the community on Thursday, March 28 at 2:30 pm.
