The Film
A living heritage of compassion
In the town where Jesus grew up, nurses, doctors and students carry forward a calling that began in 1861 — caring for every person, of every faith and background.
0:00 / 0:00
The story began in Nazareth. The healing continues through you.
Give TodaySince 1861
Where Jesus grew up, a hospital still opens its doors to everyone.
For 165 years, EMMS Nazareth Hospital has cared for the people of Galilee — Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Druze and those of no faith at all. The calling is simple and enduring: serve the underserved.
Today that calling lives in a working hospital, a nursing school forming the next generation of caregivers, and Nazareth Village, which brings the world of first-century Nazareth to life for visitors.
A living heritage of compassion — carried forward, one patient at a time.
As we walk toward our 170th year in 2031, we're building the hospital of the future: advanced, thoughtfully applied technology in the hands of people who still treat every patient as a neighbor.
One mission, three expressions
Hospital. School. Village.
Nazareth School of Nursing
Training compassionate, skilled nurses who will carry this calling for decades to come.
Nazareth Village
A living recreation of first-century Nazareth, sharing the world Jesus knew with visitors from every nation.
The future of healing
Compassion, amplified by advanced care.
The hospital of the future pairs human presence with modern tools — including carefully governed AI — so clinicians can spend more time where it matters most: at the bedside.
