The hospital faced challenges meeting the demands of a rapidly growing local community, prompting calls for government financial participation.

Construction continued, and in the years 2001-2019, Dr. Amnon Rufa served as the head of the medical center, overseeing a period of expansion and upgrading.

Since the emergency department of the hospital is vulnerable, Bnai Zion is raising funds to build a new protected underground unit, which will be fortified against nuclear, biological and chemical attacks.
