A mere 500 yards from the traditional site of Jesus’ birth, a Bethlehem maternity hospital is committed to seeing that no expectant mother is ever told there is “no room”.

Holy Family Hospital is an obstetrical/gynecological facility-the only one in the region that can handle the complicated medical conditions of women living in extreme poverty and under the shadow of political strife which stalks the birthplace of the “Prince of Peace”.

The women who give birth at the hospital may have different traditions but they are united in the primal need of all laboring women: safety and care as they bring their children into the World.

Like Mary and Joseph, these families are on journey to find a place of refuge, a place of promise, a place where their babies can be delivered safely.

In all the Bethlehem region, only one place is their chosen destination-Holy Family Hospital.
