The Friends Association has taken upon itself the task of improving the ambience inside the hospital by exhibiting works of art. In the last few years, several art exhibitions – some permanent and others temporary – have been installed in different parts of the medical center, much to the joy of patients, visitors and staff:

• A nature photography exhibit by photographer Yarin Klein in the lobby of the main building
• A permanent exhibition of Israeli art, in the Oncology Institute, curated by Smadar Shefi
• “Island Within an Island” – photographs of the Jewish community in Cuba by the JDOCU Group, curated by Eli Attias
• “Opening a Window to the Western Galilee” – a permanent exhibit of landscapes, on the walls of the Out-Patient Clinic
• “Woman, Mother and Child” – a permanent exhibit in the OB/GYN Department curated by Yael Nitzan

Other recent projects that improve patients’ wellbeing:

• Therapeutic garden next to the Occupational Therapy Department in the Rehabilitation Unit
• New playground next to the Pediatric Medicine building
• Gymboree inside the Pediatric Department
• “Healing Garden” next to the Oncology Institute in Memory of Miriam (Mori) Burkis
• Space for parents and children to meet in the Afik School in honor of Yosef Muz.
