Caring

" Thanks to the 'angels' of the Sanz Medical Center-Laniado Hospital, I am still here. While I was undergoing intense chemotherapy treatment and had to be in isolation, I was treated professionally by people who understood what it was like to have the earth fall away beneath your feet. I felt that they were the source of my healing. I will always be grateful to the doctors, nurses and all the supprt staff for helping me through this difficult time. "

Understanding Patients
                    Understanding People

The Sanz Medical Center-Laniado Hospital is characterized by a unique spirit of caring that sets it apart from other medical centers. This reflects the vision of its founder, who believed that a hospital must strive for excellence not only in science and research, but in the realm of mutual respect and kindness as well. The Sanz Medical Center-Laniado Hospital is more than a place where doctors and patients meet to practice the art of healing; it is a living expression of loving kindness and compassion throughout all stages of life.

Mutual respect and kindness can be felt in every corridor and ward of the Sanz Medical Center-Laniado Hospital campus. Doctors and nurses smile and greet patients; and family members are treated with warmth and respect as they are an integral part of the patients' recovery and rehabilitation.

The Sanz Medical Center-Laniado Hospital is a medical facility with a "heart and soul". As taught in Rabbi Halberstam's Founding Principles:
"The hospital atmosphere shall be permeated with a spirit of peacefulness, tranquility, love and devotion. Every effort shall be made to employ physicians and paramedical staff who exel in their professional medical fields and posses personality traits and characteristics guided by the Biblical commandment: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
