The clinic Dr. Haim Sheba was the village doctor from the day it was founded.
Twice a week he came to the village from Kibbutz Givat Chaim, riding a white horse wearing shorts and sandals.
When they urgently needed his help, they would ride a horse, or run on foot to Givat Haim.
In those days, the malaria disease was rampant, which was transmitted by the bites of Anopheles mosquitoes that multiplied in the swamps of Emek Hefer. The malaria disease also affected the people of the village and they needed medical treatment.
Beside the doctor worked the nurse Aliza Feuchtinger who at first treated the patients in her home barracks.
When the construction of the water tower was completed, the clinic was in the lower room of the tower.
Later the clinic moved to a building next to Rabbi Neria’s house.
In 1952, the clinic was built in its current location, and served the people of the village, Beit Chazon and members of the Yeshiva.
Dr. Sheba was replaced by various doctors. After them, Dr. Osterville served as a doctor who lived in the village, integrated himself among the members of the village and was an available and dedicated doctor for many years.
