| Hadassah's Influentials to Israel (a.k.a. "I to I") Program encourages
elected officials, policy makers, and public opinion leaders to visit
Hadassah sites in Israel in order to forge stronger bonds with Israel.
It also serves to educate these "influentials" about Hadassah. The Facts: In December 1999, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton visited the Hadassah Medical Organization at Ein Kerem. In November 1998, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright visited Hadassah's Mt. Scopus Hospital. In recent years, an assortment of governors, members of Congress, business leaders and state legislators have visited various other Hadassah projects in Israel. Through their firsthand experiences, these "influential" American figures learned about Hadassah's impact in the Middle East, and observed Hadassah's high-quality medical, educational, and social welfare efforts. For those who visit for the first time, these visits help forge an unforgettable bond with the State of Israel. They also afford Hadassah the opportunity to build important relationships with the people who have an impact on American public opinion. Their invaluable influence helps advance the causes supported by Hadassah, including issues surrounding the U.S.-Israel relationship, the peace process, foreign aid, ASHA grants, and other legislative concerns of Jews throughout the world.
