In 2022, Bnai Zion established a specialized a established medical center capable of handling the potential medical sequelae of atomic, chemical and biological warfare. In 2023, an integrative medicine treatment clinic was established at the Bnai Zion
Medical Center for the purpose of providing a response to hospital employees exposed (directly or indirectly) to the wounded and patients expressing trauma, including symptoms of acute stress disorder, as a result of war and terrorism.

ownership to the Haifa municipality. In 1957, Prof. Julius
Kaliberg became the research director, and 1958 saw the opening of a new wing, adding 108 beds to the existing 170 for adults and 40 for infants. A department for chronic patients opened in August 1961, and in October 1963, a new wing with two additional floors was added. In 1966, the Israeli government decided to finance all municipal hospitals, leading to the hospital's funding by the Ministry of Health. Ownership transferred to the government in 1975. Overcrowding in 1973 prompted plans for a new wing (designed by architect Emmanuel Kaner), completed in 1982. In 1987, with a financial donation from the Order of Bnei Zion, construction began on the 11-story western wing, leading to the hospital's renaming to Bnei Zion Hospital. Construction continued, and in the years 2001-2019, Dr. Amnon Rufa served as the head of the medical center, overseeing a period of expansion and upgrading.

committee, consisting of two representatives from the
Hadassah Medical Association, two from the community, and a neutral representative, determined that the hospital would focus on two main departments: maternity and surgical. In 1930, the hospital's bed capacity increased to 58 due to Haifa's growing population. However, budget constraints led to a reduction to 46 beds in 1936. In 1932, Dr. Daniel (Fritz) Feizer became the hospital director and director of the surgical department, which operated throughout the entire Haifa area. The hospital faced challenges meeting the demands of a rapidly growing local community, prompting calls for government financial participation. Pivotal donations to facilitate expansion were received from Baroness Ada de Rothschild (Baron de Rothschild's wife).
