The University of Haifa’s Departments of Gerontology and Physical Therapy are launching Israel’s first research-based initiative to address this crisis. Drawing on our unique interdisciplinary expertise—uniting physiotherapy, psychological science, gerontology, and social work—we will combine nationwide surveys, advanced lab testing, and community-based interventions to create proven strategies that keep seniors safe, strong, and connected. With your support, we can begin put lifesaving measures in place now and build a national model to protect older adults across the country.
A gift of $400,000 over two years ($200,000 per year) will restore strength and decision-making skills and confidence for hundreds of seniors, while producing research, protocols, and a replicable model that can used in other war-torn regions across the globe.
