Sunday evening, 2March 2014, saw the opening of the Natie and Frances Kirsh Hatzolah House. At the opening function Lance Abramson,
CEO of Hatzolah, explained that for the past 15 years Hatzolah has been operating with various parts of the organisation located in various
places – at times with ambulances parked in one location, offices in another, the responder base in a third location and dispatcher in a
fourth location.
Now for the first, time Hatzolah has all of their operations housed under one roof through the generosity of Natie and Frances Kirsh. The
new base includes ambulance bays, an ambulance cleaning area, a responder base, offices, a boardroom and a state of the art training
room. This allows for improved operational efficiencies and the provision of the very best medical care available to the Johannesburg
Jewish community.
Hatzolah is currently servicing between 150 - 200 emergencies per month and these range from chest pains and strokes to trauma
emergencies such asmotor vehicle accidents and gunshot wounds.
In his address Natie thanked and congratulated Hatzolah for providing this service to the Jewish community and said that Hatzolah SA’s
reputationwas knownworldwide.
