Ezer Mizion, also known as Ezer Mitzion, was established in 1979 and has since grown to an Israel-wide non-profit organization with over 16,000 volunteers in over 20 cities and with a US$20 million annual budget. Such is its commitment to its work of providing valuable medical and social support assistance – its name literally translates to “Aid from Zion” – to Israelis that it was awarded one of the nation’s highest honors, the Israel Prize for lifetime achievement and special contribution to Israeli society and to the State of Israel.
The Israeli health support organization offers a wide range of social and medical support services for the country’s sick, disable and elderly as well as underprivileged populations. All of its services are delivered free of charge.
Ezer Mizion is also known for its Jewish Bone Marrow Donor Registry, the largest of its kind in the world. It also has specialized programs for children with special needs, cancer patients, and victims of terrorism as well as people with mental issues.
