Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem Foundation
Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization based in Washington, D.C. with a mission to deliver life, peace, and hope in the Holy Land. As a primary work of the Order of Malta, the world’s oldest Christian charity, we serve to further the Catholic values of preserving life, fostering peace, and giving hope to those without a voice. Decades of conflict have resulted in extreme hardship for families in the Bethlehem region, where unemployment continues to rise. The dire economic situation limits access to medical care, resulting in urgent public health issues that are worsened by road closures, curfews, and security checkpoints. Many of these issues disproportionately impact women and children, who often require specialized care. Refugee communities and remote villages are also impacted more severely. The Hospital: Holy Family Hospital in Bethlehem, located just 1,500 steps from the birthplace of Christ, is our Foundation’s primary program. This Catholic teaching hospital is a state-of-the-art maternity and neonatal critical care center serving poor and at-risk women, infants, and children throughout the West Bank. In this region of conflict, the Hospital stands as a beacon of hope for families in the Bethlehem region, including remote desert villages and refugee camps. The Hospital and its Outreach Clinics have impacted more than one million lives since 1990. No one is ever turned away.
