OTHER GONDA CENTERS
The Gonda Education Center at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum offers three informative classrooms and a Teacher's
Resource Center. The Education Center serves as a national storehouse for literature, lesson plans,
and audio-visual material, and it holds files of current Holocaust-related activities and organizations
from each state.
The heart of the project is the new Gonda Building, which brings together
clinic and hospital services to make more efficient use of patient time.
The generous support of Leslie and Susan Gonda and the Gonda (Goldschmied) Foundation
to the Mayo Clinic has resulted in the development of the highly advanced Gonda Vascular Center.
The center provides state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment services in a compassionate environment
for patients with peripheral vascular diseases.
The Center is home to the Department of Human Genetics and the Brain Research Institute.
The Center incorporates an array of important research technology, innovative laboratory design, and an
atmosphere that fosters collegial and professional interactions among scientists.
The Gonda Diabetes Center is a state-of-the-art facility offering high quality care
for patients with diabetes and other endocrine disorders. The Center offers high quality diabetes
care, diabetes education, bone densitometry, retinal photography to screen for diabetic retinopathy,
and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
The Vascular Center offers a continuum of care for patients with peripheral arterial
disease. The Center provides focused, highly specialized assessment, treatment and follow-up for patients
with vascular diseases.
The Center specializes in the management of complex, difficult wounds. Treatment
plans combine traditional standards in wound management with state-of-the-art Hyperbaric Oxygen
(HBO) Therapy in order to improve or correct certain conditions, such as acute carbon monoxide poisoning,
chronic refractory osteomyelitis, decompression illness, gas gangrene, necrotizing fasciitis,
osteoradionecrosis, preparation and preservation of skin grafts, and soft tissue radionecrosis.
Gonda (Goldschmied) Wound Treatment and Clinical Tissue Engineering Center
The Wound Treatment and Clinical Tissue Engineering Center treats all chronic and acute
wounds in the head, chest, abdomen, and extremities. Both non-surgical and surgical techniques are used,
including newly available recombinant gene products, hyperbaric oxygen, and engineered tissue.
Gonda/UCLA Robotic Surgery Center
The Center will provide hands-on robotic training for medical residents, faculty,
and surgeons from local, regional, and international communities.
The Leslie and Susan Gonda (Goldschmied) Center for Diabetes Research and Education
The Gonda Center, directed by Dr Harman-Boehm and Prof. Bashan is the central diabetes care facility in
the Negev region, serving 600,000 people. The Center has organized a network of community Diabetes Clinics and outreach
programs throughout the region. The Center is active in clinical trials of new drugs supervised by the USFDA, and coordinates
multidisciplinary diabetes research programs on the role of oxidative stress in the development of insulin resistance, the
role of antioxidants in prevention of the onset of diabetes, and on the metabolic effect of drugs given to patients suffering
from AIDS.
