Healthcare environments must be places of safety, dignity, and trust - for patients, professionals and providers. Yet antisemitism can and does emerge in clinical settings, medical education, and healthcare institutions, impacting Jewish medical professionals, staff, students, trainees, and patients.

This resource hub is designed to support healthcare leaders, clinicians, students, educators, and staff in recognizing and addressing antisemitism, responding effectively to incidents, building inclusive and respectful care environments, and upholding the highest professional and ethical standards.

It also serves as a resource for patients and families, helping them understand their rights to safe and equitable care, recognize and report antisemitism or discrimination, and access appropriate support and advocacy where needed.
