Rabbi Yitzchak Stern, chairman of "Medicine and Life," conducted a professional visit to the "Medical Ker" integrative rehabilitation center in Bat Yam, expressing his deep admiration for the facility's advanced rehabilitation services, particularly in cardiac care and for young adults up to age 65. The visit aimed to explore opportunities for expanded cooperation and to make advanced rehabilitation solutions more accessible to the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) public.

During the tour, Rabbi Stern and "Medicine and Life" CEO Rabbi Boruch Himel were briefed on the center's comprehensive approach, which integrates conventional rehabilitation medicine with advanced technologies, complementary therapies, and a multidisciplinary team. The center emphasizes a holistic approach, addressing both physical and emotional well-being, aiming to strengthen mental resilience and reduce anxiety and trauma associated with medical events.

The cardiac rehabilitation program, a center of excellence, was highlighted for its personalized approach to recovery after various cardiac events, including open-heart surgery, heart attacks, valve replacements, bypass surgeries, and pacemaker or defibrillator implants. This program offers 24/7 medical supervision, a tailored treatment plan combining physical rehabilitation, healthy lifestyle guidance, and emotional support, including psychotherapy and a unique app for patients and families.

The center's specialized program for patients up to age 65 requiring rehabilitation after complex medical events was also showcased, emphasizing its use of multidisciplinary teams and customized treatment plans. Rabbi Stern met with the center's management and professional staff, learning about their innovative methods and commitment to providing comprehensive medical and human support.

Concluding the visit, Rabbi Stern stated, "I was impressed by the level of professionalism, the immense investment in the teams, and the impressive achievements, especially in cardiac rehabilitation, which allows patients to return to their routines with confidence and full medical coverage. This is one of the leading integrative rehabilitation medical centers in the country, perfectly connecting the physical-medical response with emotional strengthening, and providing excellent care for young adults up to age 65 as well. Undoubtedly, many patients can benefit significantly from the services offered here."

Discussions also focused on deepening collaborations to facilitate access to advanced rehabilitation solutions for the Haredi community, streamlining patient pathways to appropriate care, and ensuring continued high-level professional treatment.
