Edmonton Negev Gala
Thank you for your support!
Your donation will help expand access to trauma-informed rehabilitation, therapy, and pediatric care in southern Israel. You can still give to support this essential project.
On June 18, 2025, community members came together in support of expanding rehabilitative care in southern Israel.
Although the event has concluded, your impact doesn’t have to. You can still donate to help fund the Ashdod Rehabilitation & Therapy Centre—a vital project addressing the urgent need for trauma recovery, pediatric oncology support, and disability care in the aftermath of October 7.
Advancing Healthcare: New Rehab Center in Israel's South
The Ashdod Rehabilitation & Therapy Centre Project
Bringing Vital Care to Southern Israel
The 2025 Negev project supported the Ashdod Rehabilitation & Therapy Centre, a vital new resource for southern Israel.
This year’s Negev project helped advance the Ashdod Rehabilitation & Therapy Centre, designed to deliver critical medical and rehabilitative care to trauma victims, children with disabilities, and pediatric cancer patients in southern Israel.
Southern Israel faces a severe shortage of rehabilitation services, exacerbated by the October 7 war. 30% of wounded patients and most of the war victims are from the south, stressing an already overwhelmed healthcare system. With only 11 rehabilitation centers in the south, compared to 43 in central Israel, wait times are often over a year. Children with disabilities and cancer patients must travel long distances for care. The Ashdod Rehabilitation & Therapy Centre will help address these challenges by providing timely, accessible treatment for those in need.
The center will feature rehabilitation clinics, a hydrotherapy pool, modern medical equipment, daycare, and educational spaces. Its goal is to offer high-quality care close to home, reducing the need for long travel times. Located near the Samson Assuta Ashdod University Hospital, it will serve hundreds of patients each month.
Your donation will help fund vital services for patients and families once the Rehab Centre is complete.
