As Executive Director, Amir leads fundraising, donor engagement, strategic partnerships, and program development, helping translate generosity into meaningful impact. His work connects donors with opportunities to invest in Israel’s next generation of medical leaders, expand access to specialized care, and strengthen hospital readiness during times of crisis.
