Building the Future of Pediatric Care in Israel

American Friends of Schneider plays a critical role in shaping the future of pediatric care in Israel. We invite you to explore five investment priorities developed in partnership with hospital leadership:

Strengthening intensive care, surgery, cardiology, oncology and mental health to ensure every child receives the most advanced lifesaving treatment.

Supporting families through every stage of care — from respite accommodations to therapies to financial assistance.

Addressing the severe underinvestment in pediatric research and healthtech, positioning Schneider Children’s alongside the world’s leading pediatric institutions.

Strengthening Israel’s pediatric workforce through fellowships, clinical training, and knowledge exchange.

The hospital's original building, constructed in the 1990s, requires ongoing modernization, including intensive care units and operating rooms, to sustain the highest standards of care and meet the needs of Israel's growing population. The emergency department, Israel's busiest, was designed for 18,000 patients annually yet now serves more than 55,000.

The Glass Building, opened in 2023, presents opportunities for final buildout and naming recognition. Long-term investment in infrastructure, equipment, and expansion will ensure Schneider Children's continues to serve as Israel's national center for pediatric care for decades to come.

These priorities reflect both urgent needs and strategic vision. They range from shovel-ready projects to early-stage planning, and each offers meaningful opportunities for philanthropic partnerships. All of these priorities will ensure that Schneider Children's continues to go above and beyond for every child in need.

Create a legacy of healing.

Transform children's lives today and tomorrow.
