History
The hospital was originally named after the Ichilov family. Ichilov Hospital was founded in 1963 as a one-building facility designed by architect Arieh Sharon. Renamed Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, it now encompasses three hospitals over an area of 150,000 square meters: Ichilov General Hospital and Ida Sourasky Rehabilitation Center, Lis Maternity Hospital, and Dana Children's Hospital. The center also serves as an instructional and research center affiliated with Tel Aviv University's Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences and Sheinborn Nursing School.
The main building of Ichilov Hospital was built with the donations of Ted Arison and Shari Arison.
In 2011, a 700–1,000 bed bombproof emergency facility was opened. The building, with 13 stories above ground and four stories underground, provides protection against conventional, chemical and biological attack. Construction began in 2008. The cost of the building was $110 million, with a donation of $45 million from Israeli billionaire Sammy Ofer.{{cite web|last=Even |first=Dan |url=http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/tel-aviv-hospital-unveils-largest-bombproof-medical-facility-in-israel-1.348229 |title=Tel Aviv hospital unveils largest bombproof medical facility in Israel |publisher=Haaretz.com |date=2011-03-10 |accessdate=2015-05-01}} The architect was Arad Sharon, grandson of Arieh Sharon who designed the original facility.{{cite web|last=Even |first=Dan |url=http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/features/head-to-head-ichilov-head-gabriel-barbash-why-is-it-that-only-hospitals-in-central-israel-get-donations-1.348252 |title=Interview with Ichilov head Gabriel Barbash |publisher=Haaretz.com |date=2011-03-10 |accessdate=2015-05-01}}
