Meir Medical Center: A great institution of hope, education and inspiration


On the night of May 28, I attended an event to help support Canadian Friends of Meir Medical Center, located in Tel Aviv. This facility is renowned for its advances in the medical field and its strong commitment to treat anyone and everyone who comes through its doors. This medical facility is a great lighthouse and example for others. It is said that this hospital treats 10% of Israelis. The funds raised at this event will be directed to the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit. The event honoured Dr. Bernard Goldman, now professor emeritus at the University of Toronto and former chief of heart surgery and surgery at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and Women’s College Hospital . Also honoured was Toronto community activist Shirley Anne Haber. Shaarei Shomayim Synagogue in Toronto did a fantastic job of hosting this memorable event.
