| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a GRANTS TO AFFILIATES | Hadassah Medical Organization "HMO" is a not-for-profit healthcare organization in Israel with two hospitals in Jerusalem. HMO has built bridges to peace through Medicine since its beginning in 1918 and continues to be a beacon of shared society. Supported by generous donors in the United States and around the world, HMO's two Jerusalem hospitals are innovative and compassionate global leaders in medical care, treatments and research serving more than a million women, men and children a year, regardless of religion, race or nationality. Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem shares a large campus with the Hebrew University-Hadassah School of Medicine, with scientists collaborating from both institutions. The 19-story inpatient Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower, Hadassah's gift to the people of Israel on its centennial, dominates the Ein Kerem campus. The underground state-of-the-art surgical suites are sheltered deep in the Jerusalem hillside and fortified against conventional, biological and chemical warfare. Hospital gardens provide green space for emotional sustenance of patients and staff. The iconic Round Building, opened in 1962, is being modernized and expanded to meet the city's growing needs. Hadassah Ein Kerem is also home to the Sharett Institute of Oncology, with its leading-edge approach to cancer research and treatment, including stem cell technology, DNA and genetic composition. Other exciting developments at the Hadassah Ein Kerem campus include the renovated Hematology Intermediate Care and Maternity D units, with Radiotherapy unit upgrades underway, and the new Pediatric and Adolescent Psychiatry Inpatient unit. Fourteen miles from Ein Kerem on panoramic Mount Scopus, Hadassah's hospital serves both as a top-tier community medical center and addresses special needs of the greater Jerusalem area. Families rely on the Pediatric Chronic Disease Center, a hospice and the region's Rehabilitation Center. A new comprehensive rehabilitation center is bringing cutting-edge robotics to soldiers and civilians, stroke and terror survivors, as expansions and improvements bring advanced care to busy adult and pediatric emergency rooms, including at a new Shock Trauma Center. Women giving birth continue to trust the outstanding care provided at the Rady Mother and Child Center. A Cardiac Catheterization Lab provides immediate heart repairs 24/7. The Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus campus is undergoing a multifaceted expansion and modernization. Over the next three decades, the hospital will add seven new buildings, two of which are already open - Hadassah's first Cardiac Rehabilitation unit and the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory where 1,000 procedures are performed annually. Also newly opened are the Maternity C ward, the Nursery unit and a CT imaging unit, with future developments to include a multistory inpatient tower and a new home for the emergency department. By 2050 Hadassah Mount Scopus will have quintupled its size. Medical professionals from around the world come to HMO and to the Hadassah-Hebrew University medical school to learn about extraordinary patient care in virtually every medical field. HMO is renowned for its research; it receives nearly 50 percent of Israel's medical research budget, performs about half of all hospital research in Israel, and receives a significant percentage of National Science awards given in Israel. Many of HMO's leading physicians collaborate with doctors in the US and around the world and attend international conferences to present their work. They also visit cities around the United States, meeting with major donors, potential contributors, and members about HMO's cutting-edge research and patient care. When Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, Hadassah responded Immediately to the unfolding crisis, supporting Hadassah hospitals' lifesaving treatment of soldiers and civilians, and advocating for strong US support for Israel. In the days and weeks that followed, Hadassah broadened its focus to address long-term needs, greatly accelerating construction of the new Gandel Rehabilitation Center at Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus, expanding the hospitals' ability to treat mass casualties and operate safely in wartime conditions, bolstering mental health services to address trauma, and speaking out for the hostages and for those brutalized by rape and sexual violence. Israel's Ministry of Health recently published its National Quality Indicators report for 2024, with Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO) standing out in key areas of patient care. Among the highlights, the report ranks HMO's Ein Kerem Hospital the best in Israel for patient health preservation after bypass surgeries. It also gives it the highest score in Jerusalem for the speed of treating stroke victims, with patients receiving critical, diagnostic CT or MRI scans within 22 minutes, one of the fastest times in the country, where the average is 24 minutes. Hadassah Hospital-Ein Kerem is among the fastest in Israel in running vital, diagnostic scans for stroke patients, ensuring rapid intervention to save lives and minimize brain damage. In the small hospital category, Hadassah Hospital-Mount Scopus is the national leader in preventing repeat emergency room visits. This indicator reflects how a hospital's effectiveness in eliminating the need for further treatment by providing thorough and complete care in the first instance. Newsweek has named the Hadassah Medical Organization a world leader in Oncology, the only medical center in Israel to receive that honor. For the fifth year in a row, the magazine has also named Hadassah one of the world's top hospitals in both Cardiology and Smart Technology. Nearly a third of children in Israel live in poverty, and almost half a million suffer from high-risk situations such as abuse, learning disabilities or a lack of basic needs. Still others come to us from places around the world where it is no longer safe to be a Jew. Central to our mission is the well-being of future generations, and the Hadassah-supported Meir Shfeyah and Neurim Youth Aliyah villages help put these children on a path to success. Since 1934, over 300,000 students from 80 lands have graduated from Youth Aliyah. Young immigrants and at-risk native Israelis receive a full spectrum of help - shelter, food, counseling, education and other supportive services. From Hebrew lessons and classes on Jewish heritage to athletics and art, they get the care and attention needed to become productive members of Israeli society.

Through their active support of HMO, the men and women of HIL, representing all faiths and nationalities, create a worldwide network for healing with extraordinary philanthropists, dazzling special events, and creative partnerships. Hadassah International Israel Ltd (HII) is an Israeli not- for-profit organization (HII). HII's primary objectives are to raise donations in Israel for HWZOA's operations in Israel and for HMO and to assist in the promotion and development of healthcare services in Israel.
