RMC – The story of medicine in Israel
The story of Rabin Medical Center is an Israeli legend, bound to the history of the creation of the State of Israel. Our hospital basically tells the story of Israel – how it developed from a small facility to a sprawling medical center, leading in many areas of medicine and standing in line with the world's most prestigious medical centers in terms of medical progress, innovation and hospital environment. Beilinson Hospital, founded in 1936 to serve the pioneers in the surrounding regions, was an important milestone in the development of the Jewish Settlement in the Land of Israel. With the growing need for medical services, Hasharon Hospital was founded in 1942 as Beilinson B', and in the early 1950's became an independent hospital. Named in memory of the late Yitzhak Rabin, Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Rabin Medical Center was created in 1996 as a result of the merging of the two existing hospitals, Beilinson and Hasharon, and is now a huge center for modern medicine with thousands of employees and tens of thousands of patients every year.
