In the presence of Deputy Minister of Health Yaakov Litzman, National President of Hadassah, the Women\u2019s Zionist Organization of America Ellen Hershkin, Director General of Hadassah Hospital Prof Zeev Rotstein, Howard Milstein inaugurated the Irma and Paul Milstein Heart Center in Hadassah Ein Kerem, Jerusalem in honor of his parents.<\/p>\n

The new center occupies the entire third floor, 4500 square meters, of the Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower. It makes use of the world\u2019s most sophisticated medical technology and more than doubles the department\u2019s previous capacity to treat heart patients. This includes 11 intensive care private rooms plus 11 post-catherization beds and another 32 beds in the cardiac ward.<\/p>\n

Irma Milstein is a member of Hadassah, the Women\u2019s Zionist Organization of America. She and her late husband Paul, from New York, earmarked their ten million dollar donation for the heart center.<\/p>\n

Howard Milstein, an American entrepreneur and real estate developer and his wife Abby Milstein attended the dedication ceremony, with a large delegation of American Hadassah supporters and Israeli health leaders.<\/p>\n

Prof. Chaim Lotan, Director of the Heart Institute at Hadassah Medical Organization, said: \u201cThe new center, located in the Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower and spread over 4,500 square meters, catapults us fifty years ahead. Several decades ago we established the most advanced cardiac intensive care unit in Israel; this new Heart Center covers more than four times the space of our previous department. Now, we will be able to treat more patients. The Heart Center includes four of the most advanced catheterization labs in the world and another two more catheterization labs are planned. An additional catheterization lab will operate at Hadassah Mount Scopus to prevent the need to transfer patients to Ein Kerem.\u201d<\/p>\n

A direct pathway brings patients with heart attacks to the catheterization labs without the need for processing through the emergency room.<\/p>\n

Giant high resolution screens connected to the imaging equipment display all of the patient\u2019s vital data at once.<\/p>\n

The catheterization labs include one room that operates a bi-plane system providing three-dimensional imaging of the heart from two cameras at the same time.<\/p>\n

Said Lotan, \u201cOur experts use these imagines in real time for maximum accuracy. In a hybrid room, we can switch from catheterization to open heart surgery if necessary without moving the patient and losing valuable time. The 2019 dual-camera system is among the first installed in the world. There are inner-aortal cameras and numerous other technological advances that were considered science fiction not long ago. \u201c<\/p>\n

Complementing the technological advances are new and spacious conditions, comfortable for patients and their families. In addition to monitors, doctors and nurses will be able to see patients through a closed-circuit video system.<\/p>\n

Irma and Paul Milstein, whose generous contribution enabled the establishment of the center, have long contributed to health and medicine. In addition, the family supports education, the arts and scientific research in New York and in countries abroad, including the Milstein Building at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York. The Milsteins value the combination of research and treatment that is the hallmark of Hadassah Medical Organization.<\/p>\n

Ellen Hershkin, President of the Hadassah Women\u2019s Zionist Organization of America, said: \u201cWe are proud and excited to open the Heart Center in Honor of Irma and Paul Milstein, the most advanced cardiac center in Israel. Irma Milstein, a dedicated member of Hadassah Women, personally chose to support and advance cardiology. Irma knows that by improving the medical methods and facilities, the excellent physicians at Hadassah will continue to improve research and treatment in the field. We are eternally grateful for their commitment and dedication to the field of heart treatment at Hadassah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Janice Weinman, CEO of Hadassah Women\u2019s Zionist Organization of America, presided over the dedication and noted that, \u201cThe center brings sophisticated technology , and for the first time, enough room to teach heart professionals from around the world who have asked to learn from Hadassah\u2019s cadre of experts and innovators.\u201d<\/p>\n

Howard Milstein said at the event: \u201cMy father, Paul, Of Blessed Memory, and my mother, Irma, saw Hadassah\u2019s mission statement as the highest expression of the founding ideals of the State of Israel: to forge \u2018links between patients of all nationalities, races and religion who come to its doors for healing.\u2019 Here at Hadassah, all patients \u2013 Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Druse, secular and religious \u2013 receive dignified care from a top flight team of equally diverse medical workers. As such, Hadassah is also a bridge to peace. If you need proof of that, look no further than the Syrian children who, in the midst of a horrific humanitarian crisis, have been brought to Hadassah for treatment of congenital heart defects. The Milstein family resonates with that. We, too, are engaged in supporting a multi-faith effort to alleviate the Syrian crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more proud of what you\u2019ve done here. On behalf of Abby, Michael, my parents, and the entire Milstein family, thank you for honoring us in this way. May you continue to go from strength to strength.\u201d<\/p>\n
