In a letter announcing his appointment that Dr. Dudkiewicz sent to hospital employees, he wrote that he made his decision to manage Hillel Yaffe based on his familiarity with the hospital ("the field"), thanks to the people who do the work every single hour, day after day, the dedicated and quality employees in the full range of professions and positions.
