Kupat Holim Meuhedet
Meuhedet provides coverage and service to more than 1.2 million members in 2020. The organization was founded in 1974 as the result of a merger (hence the "Union" in its name) of two Kupot Holim: The Common Health Fund (קופת חולים עממית) established in 1931 by Hadassah, and the General Zionists' Health Fund (קופת חולים של הציונים הכלליים) established in 1936. These two predecessor organizations were formed during the prestatal Yishuv period and, like the other health funds in Israel, were modeled after the German medical mutual-aid societies (Krankenkasse) of the late 19th and early 20th  century. In 2005, Meuhedet took over Misgav Ladach hospital in Jerusalem, turning it into a diagnostic center and in 2019 purchased Nara medical which operates several private surgical facilities across Israel. Meuhedet is headed by Ms. Sigal Regev-Rosenberg סיגל רגב רוזנברגwhich serves as CEO since 2018 and is the first woman to serve as a sick fund head in Israel Phone: *3833
