Rabin Medical Center is pleased to announce the opening of the Department of Oncology, which ushers in a new era in cancer care and treatment. This ultra-modern 32-bed facility has both the patient and the family's interests in mind. Each room is provided with an additional bed for accompanying family members who wish to be near the side of their loved ones. The floor boasts a visitor's room with a large plasma television, warm lighting throughout the hallways, soothing colors throughout and wall sculptures by the famous artist Dudu Gerstein.
Equally impressive is the vigilance with which cancer is fought, based on a multi-disciplinary protocol, utilizing staff from every relevant department. One recent visitor from Canada, who had come to be by his mother's side, said, "there is nothing in Canada that can compare to this oncology department, and I can see that my mother is really getting the best care possible."
