pletely on their own …
they are highly motivated,
and when they say they will
lose 20 pounds and exer-
cise more, they just do it.
For many of us, though, it
is not that simple. Sure, we
want to lose weight, exer-
cise, lower our cholesterol
and blood sugar levels,
manage our stress, etc.,
— but not today. Maybe
tomorrow.

Why is this EMS
organization different than
all other EMS organizations?
In the United States, disaster relief, ambulance, and blood services are handled by an
array of organizations. In Israel, there’s one organization that does it all — Magen David
Adom. As Passover approaches, whatever crises Israelis face — including terror or
rocket attacks — MDA will be there to save lives.
