ALYN Hospital ((ヘブライ語: בית חולים אלין)) is a comprehensive rehabilitation center for physically challenged and disabled children, adolescents and young adults. Located in Jerusalem, Israel, ALYN is a private, nonprofit facility and treats all patients, regardless of religious belief, nationality or ethnic background. ==History== ALYN Hospital was founded in 1932 by an American orthopedist, Dr. Henry Keller, who dedicated his life to voluntary work amongst physically challenged children in Jerusalem. Following a polio epidemic in Israel in the 1940s and 1950s, the Ministry of Health provided ALYN with an old monastery building in Katamon that was used as a treatment center, residence and school for 200 children suffering polio.〔(ALYN Hospital History ), Retrieved 2010-02-21〕 In 1971, a donation by Malcolm and Dorothy Woldenberg made possible the building in the Kiryat Yovel neighborhood of Jerusalem of the ALYN Woldenberg Family Hospital, a modern hospital and rehabilitation facility.〔 Today, ALYN Hospital is one of the world's leading hospitals specializing in the active and intensive rehabilitation of children who are afflicted with a broad range of physical disabilities.〔Panicali, Katie, (''Resident participates in international bike ride'' ), (3 December 2009) in NorthJersey.com〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ALYN Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
