Dr. Genaro Levinson

Born in Mexico, Dr. Genaro Levinson forged a deep and enduring connection with Haifa in the early 1970s, when he completed his medical residency at Rothschild Hospital—now Bnei Zion Medical Center—nestled on the slopes of Mount Carmel. It was in this vibrant city that he met his beloved wife, and together they built a family with three sons.

Though the couple dreamed of settling permanently in Israel, life led them back to Monterrey, Mexico. There, Dr. Levinson’s vision for elevating healthcare took root. With a blend of medical expertise, social awareness, and entrepreneurial drive, he acquired a modest 30-bed facility that would eventually blossom into OCA Hospital, one of Mexico’s most prestigious private tertiary-care institutions
