Hadassah consists of 2 hospitals located in different suburbs in Jerusalem, one located in Mount Scopus and the other in Ein Kerem.

Hadassah Mount Scopus is a multidisciplinary hospital which was established in 1939, and has 350 beds and more than 30 different departments across a variety of fields, such as ophthalmology, neurosurgery, oncology, and gastroenterology.
