Advanced hydrotherapy course at Alyn Recently Johan Lambeck , a well-known Dutch physiotherapist and an expert in the Halliwek Concept of Water Specific Therapy, was invited by Alyn's Hydrotherapy Department to give an advanced course in this therapy to Alyn's physio, occupational and speech therapists. In addition to lectures on the theory behind this method, the therapists enjoyed practical experience in Alyn's therapeutic pool with some of the Hospital's young patients.
Physically challenged children enjoy Alyn's special summer camps July and August is the time for summer camps and Alyn has given a number of physically challenged children suffering from spina bifida and osteogenesis imperfecta (O.I. brittle bone disease) the opportunity to participate in organized camp activities during the past 2 months! Last week a group of children with O.I. - accompanied by their mothers – enjoyed FUN activities and outings which were combined with intensive multidisciplinary therapies. A typical schedule for the day included occupational therapy, football, hydrotherapy, making pizza, physiotherapy and an outing to the zoo!

The children and staff of Alyn thank you for supporting this annual Jerusalem Fund for Alyn function. Alyn's Day Care "SHACHAR" children enjoy the atmosphere of Brazil! Within the framework of the “Around the World in Six Weeks !” summer camp organized by Shachar Alyn’s Rehabilitation Educational Medical Day Care Center, the children enjoyed a Brazilian Party ! The program began with a 10 minute boisterous football match played by opposing teams of Shachar kindergarten teachers and National Service girls who were cheered on by the Shachar kids, doctors and nurses - and ended with a noisy samba session –maracas, drums, Brazilian flags and physically challenged kids moving in time to the Brazilian beat!
"Health Day" for Alyn staff! A very successful "Health Day" was recently organized for the entire staff of Alyn! After enjoying an extremely healthy lunch, staff members took part in a variety of sporting activities and therapies which included spinning, yoga, pilates, shiatzu and dietary advice!
Alyn's annual outing to Jerusalem's Biblical Zoo for ventilator-dependent children and teenagers  Last week, ventilator-dependent children and teenagers hospitalized in Alyn's intensive care Respiratory Rehabilitation Unit - together with their families - enjoyed an outing to Jerusalem's Biblical Zoo. The original idea was the brain-child of Dr. Eliezer Be'eri, Director of the Unit who wanted to show parents of ventilator- dependent children the importance of including their children in regular family activities. Over the past few years so many parents and their children have been grateful to Dr. Be'eri and his staff for giving them the opportunity to have fun as a regular family!
