The Friends of the Barzilai Medical Center INC.is a non-profit organization which was founded during the 1980's. Its principal goals are: 

l        Aiding the medical center by raising funds from the public, institutions, factories and the diaspora for the improvement of the medical care at the Barzilai Medical Center. 

l        Raising the professional level of the medical staff by acquiring novel and advanced medical equipment 

l        Aiding in cultivating the medical center's image and further developing the ties with the community 

The members of the organization have conducted a number of fund raising events, the last of which was an event for the Ashkelon's prominent figures and the medical center's supporters in 2005 which was aimed to raise funds for the new 64-slices CT scanner. 

In prior fund raising events, donations were collected to purchase medical supplies for the operating theatre, the IVF institute and ohter departmetns. 

School students from Ashkelon also help in fund raising, through the education department of the municipality of Ashkelon. 

Today there are 35 members in the organization, headed by Mayor Roni Mahatzri, who works voluntarily for the goals of the incorporation.
