Dear Friends,

As Passover approaches, the holiday of freedom and renewal, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones.
During these challenging times for Israeli society following the events of October 7th, the symbolism of Passover—the journey from hardship to freedom, from crisis to opportunity—resonates more profoundly than ever.
At Shamir Medical Center, we remain steadfast in our commitment to growth and innovation. Just as spring brings renewal to nature, we are focused on bringing healing and renewal to our community.

The Shamir Medical Center is mobilizing for the urgent national effort to address the rising rates of anxiety, depression, and trauma in the population.
In addition to the center for treating post-trauma victims through hyperbaric medicine, we are launching the first research of its kind in Israel and worldwide in the field of Forest Medicine.
This evidence-based practice offers a natural approach to stress reduction and healing through immersion in forest environments—a particularly relevant treatment modality for our times.

We invite you to learn more about our groundbreaking Forest Therapy research program and how it's helping patients reconnect with nature and find peace during recovery.
Wishing you a happy holiday filled with freedom and growth, and holding hope for the safe return of all hostages and swift recovery for the wounded.
Together, may we witness the first signs of healing and renewal.
