HADASSAH HOSPITAL REBUILDING LIVES

There is a lack of rehabilitation facilities in Israel, Hadassah UK (a registered UK charity) is helping to raise the essential funding needed to complete the reconstruction of the new Gandel Rehabilitation Centre at Hadassah Mount Scopus, Jerusalem.

The new centre includes specialist in-patient occupational therapy and physical therapy clinics, and hydrotherapy departments to treat patients with amputated limbs, as well as patients suffering from acute spinal, brain and nervous system injuries. The centre will also include laboratories, and advanced innovation and robotics facilities.

All donations received will be ringfenced for this purpose and 100% of these funds will go directly to the Hadassah Medical Centre and be designated specifically for the Rehabilitation Centre.

THE WALK

Starting at 9.00am on Sunday 18TH August from the Chalkwell Shelter on the Westcliff seafront. Walking along the seafront to Thorpe Bay and returning along the seafront detouring up the hill back to Finchley Road Synagogue/Talmud Torah.
