The US-based Helmsley Charitable Trust awards an $18 million grant for the construction of the Helmsley Health Discovery Tower on the Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa.
The planned 20-story tower, which will house medical research and innovation projects, is a joint project of Rambam and the University of Haifa. The Technion-Israel Institute of Technology will also collaborate on the project, using facilities in the tower for medical engineering activities.

It is the largest grant ever committed to Israeli institutions by the Helmsley Charitable Trust, according to the trust.
