The document discusses the need for a new Endoscopy Institute at Soroka Medical Center in Beer Sheva, Israel.

A new 500 square meter Endoscopy Institute is proposed to contain 4 examination rooms, 6 procedure rooms, recovery areas, and other facilities. The total cost is estimated at $2.5 million, with $1 million still needed from donations. The donor will have the opportunity to name the new Institute.

Soroka is one of the leading and most advanced centers in Israel for
gastroenterology in both the types and scope of the treatments it provides,
surpassing the patient scope of other Israeli medical centers by dozens of
percents. Every year about 500 new cases of colon cancer are discovered at
Soroka, of the total 4,000 discovered throughout Israel annually.
In 2009 more than 14,000 endoscopic procedures were carried out at Soroka, in
addition to attending to more than 12,000 outpatient visits to the clinics.
The gastroenterology staff of 10 physicians consistently seeks and achieves
excellence in their clinical work, scientific investigation, and teaching. The
medical staff is involved in academic research at both the clinical and basic
science levels. Eight registered nurses comprise the nursing staff, most with
advanced academic degrees. The clinical staff is highly motivated and provides
the most advanced professional service and patient care. Medical and nursing
students are assigned to gastroenterology rotations throughout the year. The
Chair of Gastroenterology at Soroka, Prof. Alexander Fich, currently serves as
President of the Israel Gastroenterological Association.
