The Emergency and Trauma Center
The Emergency and Trauma Center has been designed and will be equipped to handle a wide range of emergency medical conditions, in internal medicine, ambulatory surgery, orthopedics, and pediatrics. State-of-the-art equipment in the Trauma Room will make possible immediate evaluation and treatment of life-threatening injuries and conditions within "the golden hour” that can literally mean the difference between life and death.

The Trauma Room, staffed by critical care physicians and trauma-trained nurses, will include resuscitation bays that are fully ICU equipped to resuscitate, monitor and stabilize severely injured patients in the shortest possible time. The Emergency Center will also include an observation unit for patients who require relatively prolonged treatment or a large number of diagnostic tests. Comfortable waiting areas and an attractively designed pediatric area with inviting play space for children will complement the emergency medical facilities.

The Emergency and Trauma Center will include a section built as a protective shelter against conventional, biological, and chemical weapons, conforming with the latest requirements of the Israeli Home Front Command, and enabling emergency medical staff to continue to care for patients regardless of external security threats.
