Established more than 50 years ago, Alyn Hospital is a nonprofit facility in Israel devoted to the rehabilitation of children and young adults with physical disabilities, regardless of their religious or ethnic background.

American Friends of the Alyn Hospital is the New York-based awareness- and fundraising arm of the hospital. It was primarily volunteer driven until about eight years ago, when Cathy Lanyard was hired as executive director — a move that marked the organization’s desire to have more of a presence to donors than just as a check processor.
