A group of investors from South Africa decided to build a medical center modeled on those in their native country, and locate it in the beachside town of Herzliya – where doctors’ offices would be located and supportive clinical services provided as well as surgical facilities for minor procedures.[2] In its first year of operation, it had an occupancy rate of 18 percent.[3] In 1991, the building underwent expansion and increased its number of operating rooms.[2]
