The last few months have brought to the public’s attention the critical importance of high-quality, timely rehabilitation treatments: Israeli media has been filled with stories about young soldiers who were severely injured in Gaza and who are now miraculously recovering – largely thanks to impressive rehab treatments. Indeed, the events of October 7 and the ensuing war have made it abundantly clear that Israel’s healthcare system must be prepared to provide comprehensive, long-term physical and mental rehabilitation care to large numbers of soldiers and civilians of all ages contending with a wide range of conditions.

Years before the current spotlight on rehabilitation needs, the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality and the Tel Aviv Foundation understood the importance of upgrading Israel’s rehabilitation resources and decided to prioritize the construction of a state-of-the-art rehabilitation campus in Tel Aviv-Yafo. The project entails relocating the Reuth Tel Aviv Rehabilitation Hospital – whose current facilities are antiquated and inadequate – to a new top-tier healthcare campus in northwest Tel Aviv that will provide cutting-edge care in a nurturing and healing environment.
The new flagship project is expected to revolutionize the field of rehabilitation in Israel, and will position Tel Aviv as a leading city for advanced medicine. The Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality recently signed an agreement with Reuth for the allocation of the land at the site of the former Sde Dov Airport – Tel Aviv’s newest prestigious neighborhood on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
