Herzog Hospital (formerly Ezrat Nashim Hospital) is a geriatric-psychiatric hospital in Jerusalem, Israel. It is the third largest hospital in the city. Herzog Hospital specializes in nursing care for the elderly.[1]
History
The Ezrat Nashim society was established in 1895 to provide care for the chronically ill.
Until the late 1960s, the hospital specialized in psychiatric inpatient cases. Since then, it has been a geriatric hospital that treats both the elderly and the mentally ill, and engages in clinical research in geriatrics and psychiatry.
Herzog Hospital has 330 beds, 70 percent designated for geriatric patients. It also operates outpatient clinics to treat problems associated with aging.
The director-general of the hospital is Dr. Yehezkel Caine.
