Our story

For more than 40 years, it has been our privilege to walk alongside patients, families in crisis, and anyone facing one of life's hardest moments, providing support, practical help, and a steady presence when it's needed most.

None of this happens without you. Our professional staff, our tens of thousands of volunteers, our partners and supporters - each one shows up every day with a shared sense of purpose and responsibility. Together, we do what none of us could do alone.
On behalf of everyone at Ezer Mizion, thank you.

Who we are

Israel's largest medical support organization

Since 1979, Ezer Mizion has provided medical support to patients, families, and people of all ages facing illness, disability, or crisis. Today we operate 58 service centers nationwide, assist over 720,000 people a year, and are home to one of the world's leading bone marrow registries. In 2008, we were honored with the Israel Prize, the country's highest civilian distinction.

A circle of kindness

Here for everyone

Our ambition is simple: anyone who reaches out finds us ready to help. From hot meals in hospital wards and companionship for Holocaust survivors, to navigating bureaucracy, lending medical equipment, and providing emergency transport, our 30,000 volunteers show up every day for people across every community in Israel, in every kind of need.
