Outgoing CEO Eli Pollak is stepping down after five years in the role, receiving glowing praise from President and founder Eli Beer.

United Hatzalah has named its new CEO, Professor Ehud Davidson, in an announcement on Wednesday.

United Hatzalah is Israel's national volunteer emergency medical services organization and is often one of the first on the scene during crises.

It was established in 2006 and today boasts approximately 7,000 active volunteers across Israel from all sectors of society.

Davidson formerly served as CEO of Clalit Health Services, Israel’s largest healthcare provider, as well as heading up some of Israel's major medical centers such as Meir in Kfar Saba and Soroka in Beersheba.
