- Abstract
Professor Joe Herman, a founding father of family medicine in Israel, passed away in 2023. He trained the first Israeli family physicians and played a crucial role in establishing family medicine in the country. Born in the United States in 1928, he volunteered to defend Israel in 1948 and later became a physician after working in orchards. He emphasized the importance of physical examination and close collaboration with nursing staff. Professor Herman was known for his skepticism towards medical science and his focus on self-examination after patient encounters. He will be remembered and missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and patients.
