In Support of:
HADASSAH HOSPITAL – PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION UNIT
Recognizing the consequences of conflict extend far beyond immediate physical treatment, CHW is funding the new Psychological Rehabilitation Unit (PRU) to support victims of trauma through their long-term journey of recovery. Hadassah Hospital’s new PRU will provide a wide range of psychological rehabilitation treatments for conditions ranging from acute stress disorder and PTSD to depression and adaptation to living with disability.
The Psychological Rehabilitation Unit will include psychologist and social worker offices in a variety of departments to provide patients with easy access to comprehensive, seamless care that addresses their entire human experience; family rooms where patients can reconnect with loved ones, participate in group activities, and rebuild social support networks crucial to their recovery; purposely placed therapeutic healing gardens to provide patients with restorative outdoor spaces that smooth the lines between medical treatment and natural recovery; and a cognitive treatment room with cutting-edge technology to enhance overall mental health recovery for patients facing neurological challenges, trauma, or stress-related disorders.
The PRU will be located inside the Gandel Rehabilitation Center.
SHAMIR MEDICAL CENTER – HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
Shamir Medical Center, home to the largest and most sophisticated hyperbaric treatment center worldwide, is a global leader in the research and treatment of PTSD. Their groundbreaking method combines hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) with the expertise of a multidisciplinary team dedicated to treating severe PTSD for 1,000 patients a year. This innovative treatment was developed for acute, treatment-resistant PTSD and has proven effective in reducing symptoms such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, and irritability, and facilitating a swift return to normal life.
Due to the current crisis in Israel, there is an urgent need to leverage this unique and effective tool for civilians contending with severe trauma. Supporting the expansion of the PTSD-treatment will enable Shamir Medical Center to provide comprehensive, professional, ongoing treatment tailored to the unique needs of each patient, many survivors of the horrors of October 7. Our support will help heal hundreds of individuals – children and adults – who have endured unimaginable pain, so they can regain hope and rebuild their lives.
