Eli Beer is a pioneer, social entrepreneur, President and Founder of United Hatzalah of Israel. In thirty years, the organization has grown to more than 6,500 volunteers who unite together to provide immediate, life-saving care to anyone in need - regardless of race or religion. This community EMS force network treats over 730,000 incidents per year, in Israel, as they wait for ambulances and medical attention. Eli’s vision is to bring this life-saving model across the world. In 2015, Beer expanded internationally with the establishment of branches in South America and other countries, including “United Rescue” in Jersey City, USA, where the response time was reduced to just two minutes and thirty-five seconds.

Their long stays in the emergency room are not because they need medical treatment, but because there is nowhere else for them to go. Nicholle Karim, NCHA Vice President, Policy Development sits down with Paula Bird, Vice President, Psychiatry and Mental Health Institute at Novant Health, to discuss the challenges shaping this trend.
