Alice has overcome breast cancer, and today she walked through the streets of Jerusalem alongside the very team at Hadassah that saved her life!

“We reminded every woman that her health is in her own hands.” 🩷

Alice Levy, who was treated at Hadassah’s Breast Health Center, received the wonderful news in a moment of complete surprise: she is cancer-free!

Alice had actually come to Hadassah Ein Kerem for an appointment with one of her caregivers when she was unexpectedly called into the office of Prof. Tanir Allweis, Head of the Breast Health Center and the physician who had treated her throughout her difficult journey.

When Alice heard Prof. Allweis tell her that she had fully recovered from cancer, she was so overwhelmed that she nearly fainted!

Alice’s moving story is also the story of an entire team. The staff at Hadassah’s Breast Health Center, who know Alice and her family, stood by her every step of the way, supporting her through the most challenging moments and giving her hope.

Our relationship with patients does not end when treatment is over. It continues beyond recovery, reflecting our deep commitment to supporting our patients and their families throughout their journey.

This morning, Alice walked alongside Prof. Tanir Allweis, Head of Hadassah’s Breast Health Center, and Prof. Tamar Sella, Head of the Breast Imaging Unit at Hadassah. Both are part of the dedicated medical and support team that continues to accompany our heroine, together with many other remarkable members of the team who played an essential role in her comprehensive care.

At the “Jerusalem in Pink” walk, held in partnership with the Jerusalem Municipality, we called on women not to neglect their health, reminding them that early detection saves lives.

Today, we walked together and reminded everyone that we choose life. 🩷

אליס החלימה מסרטן השד וצעדה היום ברחובות ירושלים עם הצוות שהציל את חייה בהדסה!
״הזכרנו לכולן שהבריאות היא בידיים שלהן״🩷

אליס לוי, שהייתה מטופלת שלנו במרכז לבריאות השד בהדסה, התבשרה בהפתעה מוחלטת על ידי הצוות על כך שהחלימה מסרטן השד!
היא בכלל הגיעה להדסה עין כרם לפגישה עם אחת המטפלות שלה ואז נקראה אל חדרה של פרופ׳ תניר אלוייס, מנהלת המערך ומי שטיפלה בה לאורך התקופה הקשה.
כשאליס שמעה ממנה שהחלימה לחלוטין מסרטן - היא כמעט התעלפה!

הסיפור המרגש של אליס הוא גם סיפורו של צוות שלם. צוות המרכז לבריאות השד בהדסה, שמכיר את אליס ואת משפחתה, ליווה אותה לאורך הדרך ברגעים המורכבים והכניס בה רוח של תקווה.
הקשר עם הצוות שלנו אינו מסתיים עם ההחלמה, אלא ממשיך גם לאחריה, מתוך מחויבות אמיתית לליווי המטופלות ובני משפחותיהן.

אליס צעדה הבוקר יחד עם פרופ׳ תניר אלוייס, מנהלת מרכז בריאות השד בהדסה ופרופ׳ תמר סלע, מנהלת היחידה לדימות השד בהדסה – שתיהן חלק מהצוות המקצועי והרגשי שממשיך ללוות את הגיבורה שלנו, ויחד איתן נשות צוות רבות, שותפות מדהימות לטיפול המלא.

באירוע ״ירושלים בורוד״, שנערך בשיתוף עם עיריית ירושלים קראנו לנשים לא לשכוח את עצמן כי גילוי מוקדם מציל חיים.

היום צעדנו כולנו יחד והזכרנו לכולן שאנחנו בוחרות בחיים🩷

For the first time in Israel, a spine surgery has been performed with Medtronic's Stealth AXiS robot, and the hospital that did it is Hadassah in Jerusalem, with Professor Josh Schroeder as the surgeon.

The first patient was an 18-year-old with severe scoliosis. Within a week the patient went home, standing upright and free of pain.

The robot guides surgeons with a precision that human hands alone can't match, which shortens operations and speeds recovery. Hadassah's team was the first in the country to bring it into the operating room.

This is the quiet side of Israel, and it rarely makes the news: doctors and engineers working on ways to heal people.

Released Oct 27, 2026. Surgeons at the Hadassah Medical Center are the first in Israel to use the Medtronic Stealth AXiS™ system, the world’s most advanced spine-surgery robot.

October is breast cancer awareness month, but breast cancer care and prevention is an everyday, every month job.

October is breast cancer awareness month, but breast cancer care and prevention is an everyday, every month job.

🎀 For women, religious and cultural differences can lead to different breast cancer outcomes. The future of breast cancer care is more personalized — and more equitable.

Every woman’s experience with breast cancer is different. Understanding those differences can help transform how we detect, treat and support patients.

At the Hadassah Medical Organization, Dr. Shani Paluch-Shimon, director of the Breast Oncology Department and Dr. Michal Braun, of Hadassah’s Breast Health Center of Excellence are investigating disparities in breast cancer outcomes among ultra-Orthodox Jewish and Arab women in Jerusalem.

Their research explores how cultural differences, language barriers and access to support can influence a patient’s experience — and how care can be better tailored to individual needs.

Meanwhile, innovative research using artificial intelligence is exploring new ways to identify patients who may carry BRCA mutations, potentially accelerating genetic testing and helping physicians make more informed treatment decisions.

From understanding healthcare disparities to harnessing AI, Hadassah researchers are working toward a future where every woman receives care that reflects her unique needs. 💗
