6th & 7th Floors – Mental Health Center

Eighteen girls are on the waiting list today, some so fragile they’re being cared for in intensive care. These two floors end that wait, it’s how Israel’s model mental-health center is finally completed.

Target: ₪ 18,000,000

6 - 8 Floors
36,000 ft Of new space
23,000+ Patients a year are treated here

The building is proven. The plans are drawn. Because the whole Center can now carry a single name, this is a rare chance to complete a landmark, and to be the person who did.

The patients no one else can take

Right now there is no inpatient eating-disorder bed in Israel for an adult woman, and none anywhere for an adolescent boy. The 6th floor brings outpatient, day-care and inpatient care together in one place and opens it, for the first time, to patients of every age and both genders (separately).

A place to be a person, not just a patient

The 7th floor treats the person, not only the patient. A hospital school so a long stay never costs a school year. The center's art, music and movement therapies gathered into one creative wing. Therapeutic kitchens, a roof garden, and day treatment for teens.

The last two floors

The Center is the building other Israeli psychiatric hospitals are measured against, led by Harvard-trained Prof. Raphael Straus. It has the highest staff ratio and shortest stays in the country. It was built to eight floors and stands at six. These are the two it was always meant to have.

“Gentlemen, I do not come here to compete. I come here to complete.”

— Dr. Moshe Rothschild z”l, Founder

Every department at Mayanei Hayeshua began because a person needed care. A mother who would have travelled hours. A child who would have waited too long. A family who wouldn’t feel understood and embraced elsewhere.

FUNDING THE EXPANSION

Dr Rothschild filled those gaps one by one, and never stopped. And his legacy lives on. This unit is the next one. It doesn’t need a founder anymore — it needs you.

Your gift builds both floors and carries your name, or the name of someone you carry with you, across the whole Center, while individual floors and units keep their own dedications.
