Our Story
As a resident in Tel Aviv, Dr. Goldstein noticed the frequent transfer of trauma and emergency patients between Israeli and Palestinian hospitals. These transfers often occurred without a clear line of communication or follow-up between the treating facilities, leading to significant challenges and sub-optimal patient care. Meanwhile, Dr. Jreis, a specialist in anesthesiology and intensive care, witnessed firsthand the severe lack of access to basic trauma training in Palestinian hospitals.
​
Driven by a shared commitment to improving trauma care, Dr. Goldstein pursued his specialization, recognizing the critical importance of regional trauma care to ensure that every patient receives the best possible care and has the opportunity to return to their normal life. Through the introduction of a mutual friend, Dr. Goldstein and Dr. Jreis connected, bringing together their expertise, dedication, and vision. Out of this partnership, Operating Together was born.
