How did AIM start?
The vision for AIM began when Gershon S. Loecher made Aliyah in 1982 with his family. Mr. Loecher sought out English-speaking doctors he could trust and rely on for good care in Israel and secure private appointments.
Years later Mr. Loecher created private style medical care in Israel that included:
- Full comprehensive medical coverage throughout Israel
- Readily available English-speaking doctors and specialists
- A dedicated staff to schedule appointments efficiently
- 24/7 access to an AIM physician
- Easy access to quality medical care hassle free of Israeli bureaucracy and long wait times
Nearly 40 years later AIM has become a trusted name in Israel for coordinating and providing comprehensive medical care, earning an enviable reputation for professionalism, reliability, and personal concern for its members.
