Dr. Erez Alon was appointed director of the Klalit Medical Center in Haifa - Linn
Dr. Erez is a graduate of the Reali School, studied medicine at the Technion, completed with honors a residency in heart and thoracic surgery at Rambam and Soroka, further training in New Zealand. He also has 2 master's degrees: in health systems management at Tel Aviv University and gerontology at Haifa University.
After ten years in which he was a heart surgeon, he chose to turn to other fields of medicine, with an emphasis on family medicine in the community and management.
He was a family doctor at a clinic in Nahariya, a region of Klalit (now Nahariya Ga'atun), where he treated Chaldeniks and Ethiopians.
Later, he was the director of home hospitalizations in the district - a unique service that requires a special and rare dedication, in which the care team comes to the home of the seriously ill or dying patient and cares for him at home, with 24/7 availability and a close relationship with the family.
In his subsequent positions, he was more and more involved in management positions. First, as the Director of Control, Procurement and Services, in the North District and later, he was the Deputy Director of Emek Hospital and in his last position, before moving to Lin, he was the Medical Director of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District in general.
In his new position he is the manager of a large and complex medical center, which includes 36 departments, units, institutes, laboratories, imaging institutes and operating rooms. The team under his management includes 400 employees, who make up a multidisciplinary team that facilitates the treatment of all patients and maintains a therapeutic continuum. Doctors with expertise in a variety of fields, from a variety of medical professions, skilled nurses, imaging technicians, and more. The quality and complexity of the medical staff is evidenced by the fact that 80% of the doctors are integrated with Carmel Hospital. In this way, a continuity of care is maintained and the therapist receives treatment in the community by senior doctors at the hospital. No less than 4000 people come to the Linn Medical Center every day and every month. Here 550 invasive diagnostic operations such as gastroscopies and endoscopies and another 2000 non-invasive diagnostic operations per month (EMG), GEE, echo ergometry and more).
Also, 1300 operations are performed in 7 operating rooms: general surgery, vascular, orthopedics, A.G., plastic surgery and emergency surgery. This scope will now increase a lot with the transfer of surgeries from Yom Hospital in Carmel to Lin and Zebulon.
Prof. MK Chen Shapira: Lin Medical Center is the largest medical center operating in the community and the leading one in Israel. In recent years, under the management of Dr. Amer, the center has undergone a growth spurt in the scope of services and the improvement of physical conditions to an unprecedented extent, such as: mobile MRI, An innovative orthopedic surgical complex including advanced operating rooms, integrated clinics with Carmel Hospital and more. I congratulate Dr. Erez on his assumption of the challenging position, especially these days, when the set of ambulatory surgeries is being moved from Carmel Hospital to the operating rooms in Lin and Zebulun and new integrated clinics such as hemato-oncology are being opened, with an emphasis on significantly improving the availability of the service and shortening the queues.
