These include the establishment of the rehabilitation center on Mount Scopus, the expansion of hospital operations, the opening of a clinic in Netivot to improve medical response for southern residents, and initiatives to stabilize the institution's financial standing.
Itzik stated, "I have decided to move on to the next thing. Hadassah was and will always remain a home and an important part of my work for the residents of Israel. Thank you to the Women of Hadassah, to Hadassah's management, and to my colleagues on the board for the many hours around the clock for the hospital."
Carol Ann Schwartz, President of the Women's Zionist Organization of America, thanked Itzik for her years of work, highlighting the challenges they faced together, including the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing security complexities. Schwartz added that Itzik "was and will remain part of the Hadassah family" and will be appointed a Global Honorary Ambassador for the organization upon her retirement.
Following Itzik's announcement, the Women's Zionist Organization of America is expected to decide in the coming days on the process for selecting a new chairman for the board.
