Founded in 1959, Sanz Medical Center-Laniado Hospital was established by the Sanz-Klausenburger Rebbe, Rabbi Yekusiel Yehudah Halberstam, zt”l, in fulfillment of a vow he made during the Holocaust. Laniado remains the sole hospital serving Netanya and the Sharon region’s 500,000 residents, has welcomed more than 250,000 newborns, and offers care spanning all specialties, from birth to geriatrics.
In June of 1972, American Friends of Laniado Hospital was established. To this day, it continues to raise the crucially needed funds to keep Laniado Hospital thriving.
