Loewenstein Rehabilitation Hospital - Medical Tourism

What Loewenstein Rehabilitation Hospital - Medical Tourism does

Loewenstein Rehabilitation Hospital, located in Ra'anana, Israel, is Israel's largest autonomous rehabilitation center, operating 300 beds across 7 specialized inpatient departments, 6 institutes/services, and 1 day-care unit. Founded in 1959 by the Clalit Health Fund and affiliated with the Tel Aviv University Sackler Faculty of Medicine, the hospital provides comprehensive rehabilitation services for stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, orthopedic impairment, pediatric conditions, and disorders of consciousness. It treats domestic Israeli patients through the Clalit ecosystem and IDF military casualties through dedicated military rehabilitation programs, alongside international medical-tourism patients coordinated by a dedicated multilingual International Unit with Russian-speaking staff.

The hospital's technology stack spans proprietary clinical-assessment instruments (LOTCA for cognitive evaluation; SCIM for spinal cord independence, adopted by the International Spinal Cord Society and the US FDA; and the derivative SCI-ARMI) and high-cost rehabilitation equipment including the LOKOMAT robotic gait trainer, ReWalk exoskeleton, anti-gravity treadmill (NASA-derived), Snoezelen multi-sensory rooms, Brain Gym with MindFit, driving simulator, head-controlled mouse, and posturograph balance system. A Smart Crutches Project is in development as in-house R&D.

Revenue is generated through three professional-services streams: (i) inpatient/outpatient rehabilitation delivered primarily through Clalit Health Fund coverage plus private-pay arrangements, (ii) medical tourism via the dedicated International Unit treating patients from former Soviet states, Ukraine, the Middle East, and other regions, and (iii) international training and fellowship programs for rehabilitation physicians, therapists, and nurses. Treatment programs are individualized, quote-based, and not publicly priced; average inpatient stays run ~2 months. The hospital has been JCI-accredited at 99.2 out of 100 since 2015 and has treated more than 100,000 inpatients cumulatively, including 31 years of specialized coma/vegetative-state care with reported ~80% consciousness-recovery outcomes.
