Two organizations
Ziv Partners and Ziv Medical Center
Ziv Partners, Inc. is a separate U.S. nonprofit organization. Ziv Medical Center is a government hospital in Safed, Israel. Ziv Partners does not operate the hospital or provide medical care.
Ziv Partners builds relationships and charitable support connected to the hospital's people and priorities.
How Ziv Partners works
Five operating principles
Listen close to the work
Priorities begin with Prof. Zarka and the people responsible for care.
Build serious relationships
Ziv Partners connects donors, community leaders, medical leaders, and visitors to the people behind the model.
Keep the organization lean
The work is founder-led and volunteer-led, with little appetite for unnecessary bureaucracy.
Communicate responsibly
Ziv Partners shares approved facts and durable stories rather than manufacturing constant urgency.
Protect donor trust
Gifts, records, receipts, privacy, and account ownership are handled through documented systems owned by Ziv Partners.
