Donations made in Bonnie's memory will be directed to the Women's Initiative, supporting the training of more female medics to save lives in Israel.
Launched in 2021, The Adele and Joel Sandberg Women’s Initiative at United Hatzalah had an ambitious goal – double the number of female emergency responders from 1,000 to 2,000 within five years. To reach this goal, supporters of the Women’s Initiative have committed to raising $1.8 million each year, for a total of $9 million.
As we enter the fifth year of the Women’s Initiative, we can proudly declare that 2,081 women – medics, psychotrauma specialists, midwives, Ten Kavod volunteers, and others – are actively involved in United Hatzalah’s lifesaving work. That’s more than double where we started back in 2021. And women currently represent 40% of the students in United Hatzalah training courses. Dozens of our female volunteers have taken their medical training to the next level, and several have broken through some glass ceilings in the male-dominated arena of emergency medicine. We invite you to partner with us and share our pride in the achievements of the Sandberg Women’s Unit.
