Cherney Family Donates New Cardiology Wing at Beilinson Hospital, Petah Tikva, Israel

Jerusalem --- October 23, 2008...... The Cherney family has announced that a new section for recovering patients in the cardiology wing at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, Israel has started operations this week.

Petah Tikva is an eastern suburb of Tel Aviv.

Lev Cherney (Chernoy) said that the new private hospital rooms are designed to stabilize the physical and psychological well being of the patients. The hospital rooms are equipped with personal showers, bathrooms, 19 inch TVs and writing tables.

This donation was made possible by a generous contribution by the brothers of Michael Cherney.

Michael Cherney spends much of his time as a philanthropist - serving as the director of the Michael Cherney Foundation.

The Michael Cherney Charity Foundation was created on June 1, 2001, on the night of the Islamic terrorist bombing at the Dolphinarium Disco in Tel Aviv. When Michael Cherney learned the number of victims - twenty one dead and over 150 wounded, he realized that rendering assistance required a systematic organized effort. This was the genesis of the Foundation.

Prior to 2001, Mr. Cherney was engaged in charity work in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia, Bulgaria, the US - wherever he did business. He made especially valuable contribution into Jewish philanthropy in Russia.

Following the Dolphinarium tragedy, the Cherney Fund became the helping hand for all the victims.
In a misfortune like this, emigres from the former Soviet countries are even worse off than the Israel born: they don't have a support system or savings. The Cherney Fund, therefore, renders help mostly to the new arrivals, victims of catastrophes and terrorist acts that continue to bleed Israel, as well as to the low-income victims of terror in other countries.

Another equally important task assumed by the Cherney Foundation is the media effort in war on terror. Shortly after the Dolphinarium attack, the Foundation published a book called Dolphinarium: Terror Targets the Young. The book is an oral history, a representation of the voices of the parents who lost their children and the teenager victims themselves. It was published in three languages and met with acclaim in Israel, the United States, and Russia.

The Fund's contribution into conveying the truth about the war of terror against the Jewish people has met with high appreciation from the media, public organizations, and the Israeli government.

The Fund also actively participates in various children and youth-oriented programs, in human rights, public relations for Israel, projects that counter anti-Semitism and various athletic programs.

Michael Cherney is also the director of The Jerusalem Summit, an Israel based advocacy organization that brings together Evangelicals, neoconservatives, and hardline pro Israel leaders from across the globe in an effort to shape the debate over the status of Palestine, radical Islam, Islamic Apartheid and what its members view as the "relativism" of the West.

The establishment of Beilinson Hospital in 1936 was an important milestone in the development of the Jewish Settlement in the Land of Israel. The new hospital was intended to serve the pioneers in the towns in the Judah and Sharon regions. The Hasharon Hospital was founded in 1942 with the increase in the needs for medical services.

In January 1996 Beilinson and Hasharon hospitals merged to form Rabin Medical Center, the largest and leading medical complex in Israel, named in memory of Israel's late prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin.
Rabin Medical Center has throughout the years served as a model for new standards in medical treatment. It is a leader in technology and science while maintaining the highest standards of quality care with attention to the personal touch towards patients and their families.

In 1991, Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel, the largest and most advanced children's hospital in the Middle East, opened on Beilinson Campus.

Throughout its history Beilinson Hospital has been committed to national and international humanitarian needs. It played an important role in the treatment of immigrants from the former Soviet Union and Ethiopia, many of whom came directly from the airport to the hospital, and it has sent numerous medical teams to countries in distress. In 1986, the city of Chernobyl in the former Soviet Union experienced the most severe nuclear leakage in history. Beilinson Hospital was among the first facilities to provide help for the radiation victims. Furthermore, starting with the events of 1936-1939, physicians at Beilinson Hospital have treated victims of terror and war, be they Jews, Arabs, Israelis or foreigners. It continues to serve as the medical backbone for the Israel Defense Forces and treating wartime and terror-induced injuries with the highest quality of care.
