80 Years of Excellence and Quality Service

Upon its establishment, the "Maccabi HMO" comprised ten doctors and several dozen members. Among the fund’s founders are Dr. Felix Theilhaber, Dr. Ernst Freudenthal, Peretz Bernstein, Uri Nadav, Dr. Avigdor Koren, George Flesh, Dr. Eliahu Sedgar, Hananya Berger, Dr. Moshe Harnik, Dr. Eliezer Ludwig Lehrfreund, Dr. Robert Atlas, Felix Scheiniak, Arthur Rosenberg, Fritz Levinzon, and Dr. Herman Lelewer. Most of them were doctors, while others were managers and finance professionals.
The founders were led by two co-directors: Dr. Felix Theilhaber, a visionary and advocate, and Dr. Ernst Freudenthal, a leader who put ideas into motion. Dr. Theilhaber served as the HMO's chief physician and board chairman until his passing in 1956. Dr. Freudenthal led the HMO as CEO and later as board chairman until his passing in 1982.
The late Mrs. Sarah Doron, who served as a Knesset member and minister, dedicated many years to Maccabi, prioritizing members’ wellbeing and health. She was elected as Maccabi board chairman. In recognition of her significant contributions, upon her retirement in July 2010, she was named "Honorary President" of the HMO. She retained this title while continuing her involvement at Maccabi until her passing.
To fill the chairman role until a permanent replacement is selected, Maccabi management appointed Prof. Moshe Rouch, a distinguished professor of medicine. Prof. Rouch has extensive experience in healthcare systems, as he previously served as the chief medical officer and director of Rambam Hospital in Haifa.
Maccabi doctors from Central Europe introduced liberal approaches, focused on allowing members the freedom to choose doctors and institutions. This operating method was based on a limited, salaried workforce and independent doctors compensated by appointment volume. Medical care at Maccabi is guided by several principles, with the primary goal being to deliver public healthcare at the level of private medicine. Members have direct access to advanced health services provided by top-ranking doctors.
