Tzafon Medical Center, located near the city of Tiberias, was established in 1955. At first, it’s activity from wooden huts, given by the Finnish government to the young Israeli State, in exchange for shipments of oranges. Since its humble beginnings, the medical center has come a long way and now boasts state-of-the-art departments, clinics, and machines. As a leading medical center in the Galilee region, “Tzafon” embodies the diverse human fabric of Israeli society and operates according to the values of equality, compassion, and tolerance.
Committed to uncompromising accessibility to advanced medical services for the benefit of the region’s residents and bridging the gap between the center and the periphery in healthcare services through the development of excellent medical and research centers, Tzafon Medical Center stands at the forefront of the healthcare revolution in the area.
The medical center has a broad regional influence both in terms of advanced medicine and improving the quality of life for its residents, as well as being the largest employer in the area. Soon, with the completion of the Helmsley Rehabilitation Center construction, an additional 600 jobs will be added, leading to the migration of new families to the area and economic growth. Tzafon Medical Center is committed to developing academic research, medical innovation, and excellence in the north, promoting a healthy lifestyle among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.
