The team of the geriatric ward at the Laniado Medical Center in Kiryat Sanz, Netanya, celebrated a special birthday this week for Tzilla Cohen, the oldest citizen in the State of Israel.
Tzila, born in 1914, was born in the town of Krasnik in Poland, and immigrated to Israel alone in 1936.
She is well known in Netanya, as someone who was part of the city's founding generation, and even participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for the Kiryat Sanz neighborhood in 1958 - the neighborhood where the medical center is located.
