Grants and Scholarships

The scholarships are awarded by the Scientific Activity and Mutual Assistance Fund of Hadera Physicians, the families of Dr. Pachner and Dr. Wilder, and fund representatives, Dr. Pesach and Dr. Segal.

The source of the financial scholarships are donations collected in 1983 and that remain in the fund. By providing the scholarships, the families are honoring the wishes of the parents who were physicians, as these funds, which were donated by physicians for physicians almost 50 years ago will enable a new generation of young physicians to professionalize and develop to the benefit of the patients who need them.

Through this effort, the families want to convey to the scholarship recipients the importance of medical excellence and demonstrate that it is tightly coupled with the values of human and medical commitment to colleagues and the community.

The fund was established in the 1960s as the Association of Physicians from Hadera, the Sharon, Samaria, by a group of physicians who resided in Hadera and the surrounding area. The most prominent among the physicians on the executive committee were Dr. Even Haim - family physician, Dr. Dicker - surgeon, Dr. Danosh - pediatrician, Dr. Wilder - pediatrician, Dr. Nagler - family physician, Dr. Pachner - ophthalmologist, and Dr. Kashtalansky - ENT.
