OUR LOGO IS A CHILDREN'S PUZZLE
The puzzle is a popular children's game, which in reality imitates medicine: by connecting the individual pieces, a whole entity is created - body and soul. The puzzle thus symbolizes the all-encompassing approach to pediatric health care developed and practiced by Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel.
Separately, the seven puzzle pieces represent the complexity of pediatric care performed at Schneider Children's: Medical Excellence, Research, Multidisciplinary Approaches, The World of the Child, Internationalization, Bridge to Peace, Bridge to Peace and Community Links. Additionally, each colorful piece accounts for each of the seven floors of the hospital dedicated to specific subspecialties of pediatric medicine.
The puzzle logo is aligned at an angle, and just like children, suggests a measure of childhood mischief, while each of the puzzle pieces has a different color and shape, much alike the children from the Middle East.
Finally, the three languages in the logo represent the concept of Schneider Children's as a "bridge to peace" to all children in the region.
Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel, also affectionately known as Schneider Children's, is the only comprehensive, highly specialized care hospital of its kind in the country and in the Middle East, dedicated exclusively to the well-being of all children and adolescents. Schneider Children's also receives patients from the Palestinian Authority and Jordan, and from as far away as Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe, thus fulfilling its mandate to serve as a "bridge to peace" in the region. Since its establishment in 1991, Schneider Children's has become recognized as an institution of medical and academic excellence.
Schneider Children's comprises 250 beds, 43% of which are assigned to critical care (Intensive Care Units, Neonatology, Burns and so on) and provides the full range of pediatric subspecialties and comprehensive paramedical services to all children from newborn up till age 18. Special adult clinics ensure follow-up care for those born with congenital disorders. The medical center serves as the national referral center for Hematology-Oncology, Endocrinology and Childhood Diabetes, and Cardiology and is the country's leading institution in the field of bone marrow and organ transplants, such as heart and lung, liver and kidney. Schneider Children's is a member of Clalit Health Services - the largest HMO in Israel with over 3 million members - and receives all HMO patients for treatment and admission.
