context_page_description: Rambam Health Care Campus commonly called Rambam Hospital, is a hospital in the Bat Galim neighborhood of Haifa, Israel founded in 1938, 10 years before the establishment of the State of Israel.
  It is the largest medical center in northern Israel and fifth largest in Israel, and is named for the 12th century physician-philosopher Rabbi Moshe Ben-Maimon, known as the Rambam.
  Rambam Health Care Campus is also an academic teaching hospital affiliated with the Rappaport Faculty of Medicine of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Israel's oldest university.
context_section_description: Since 2007 Rambam Health Care Campus has been undergoing a major development effort in order to better meet the needs of the population it serves. This includes upgrading patient services, creation of new facilities, and construction of a fortified hospital for the safety of patients during times of extreme emergency. As of 2017, this project is still under way. Three buildings have been completed, with two remaining.
  The Sammy Ofer Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital
  Named for and primarily funded by the late Sammy Ofer, this 2,000-bed facility is the largest of its kind in the world. During peacetime it serves as a 1,500-vehicle underground parking lot. Within 72 hours it converts into a fully functioning hospital with fortification against conventional and non-conventional warfare. Following a logistics drill in March of 2014 this facility opened in its peacetime configuration.
  The Ruth Rappaport Children's Hospital
  Named for and partially funded by Ruth Rappaport (wife of Bruce Rappaport), the new children's hospital officially opened in June of 2014. The new Pediatric Emergency Department is the largest and most advanced in Israel.
  Joseph Fishman Oncology Center
  Named for and partially funded by the late Joseph Fishman, this facility is providing upgraded services for cancer patients, including expanded alternative and complementary medicine for treating cancer and its side-effects.
  Eyal Ofer Heart Hospital
  This facility will offer an integrated model for cardiovascular care. It will also house research laboratories and offer cardiovascular risk-reduction programs. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on May 9, 2017.
  Helmsley Health Discovery Tower
  This 20-story facility will house clinical, educational, and research facilities of Rambam Health Care Campus, University of Haifa, and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. The grant from the Helmsley Charitable Trust to facilitate its construction is the Trust's largest donation in Israel to date.
