Nursing Administration

Nursing at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center has been known for its professionalism and ethical excellence ever since the days of Schwester Selma, the first Head Nurse at the hospital.

The nursing team at Shaare Zedek Medical Center is dedicated to providing patient-centered care, taking into consideration preferences, values, and culture. We strive to deliver the most professional, high-quality, and safe care possible, and to offer our patients an attentive and skilled team. We view the patient as a central partner in the decision-making process and are committed to providing them with the necessary information and guidance. We ensure that essential information for coordinated care among the treatment partners is shared while maintaining the patient's privacy and confidentiality. We are committed to continuous learning and professional development in order to provide our patients with the best and most up-to-date care possible.

Shaare Zedek Medical Center was established in 1902 by Dr. Moshe Wallach, a central figure in the history of medicine during the period of settlement. Wallach founded and managed the hospital for 45 years (1902-1947). Since its opening with 20 beds on Jaffa Street, Shaare Zedek has played a significant role in the city's development.

The nursing management is launching a unique training program for nurses who are interested in developing a managerial career as a natural progression to clinical advancement. As part of the program, a selection of nurses capable of managing and leading hospital departments at Shaare Zedek will be formed.

• Determining nursing policy, including regulations and working methods stemming from overall hospital policy and professional Health Ministry standards, and implementing them throughout the nursing teams.
• Recruiting, selecting and placing nurses, auxiliaries, porters and artificial respiration technicians.
