“The world has been in crisis with COVID-19 during the past year and Sheba, which is considered to be one of the Top 10 best hospitals in the world, has been on the frontlines from day one. We all miss the freedom we once had, like a simple hug,” said Haas. “But it is still important to be productive and Sheba’s goal is to find a way to defeat COVID-19. This virtual gala represents a unique challenge for me, as people around the globe will witness the amazing upbeat stories that have taken place at Sheba amidst this crisis. I am honored to be a part of Sheba’s effort to return the world to a brighter, healthier place.”
