United Hatzalah Takes Over Bnei Brak Old Age Home After Staff Contracts Coronavirus

"After we were contacted by the social services department and the Ministry of Defense we spoke to a United Hatzalah volunteer who manages a different old age home and agreed to manage the medical care in this one as well. Our volunteers worked tirelessly over the course of Shabbat under the leadership of United Hatzalah EMT Gilad Hadari who came from Elon Moreh especially to help manage the home. The volunteers provided medical care and assisted all of those who needed medication to make sure that they received everything they needed. Our teams will be maintaining their care at the home until another solution can be found to replace the lack of proper medical teams at the home."

"Our work at the old age home comes on top of our volunteers providing continuing humanitarian and medical assistance to the elderly and those in isolation who according to the Ministry of Health guidelines cannot leave their homes. Our volunteers are bringing food and medicines to people across the city around the clock."
