Dr. Zucker (he/him) is an internal medicine and infectious disease-trained physician and social activist who is dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of the LGBTQ+ community. He has been working for the past six years to establish new foundations for LGTBQ+ health-oriented medicine in the Israeli health system.

He took part in the initiation and completed the first LGBTQ+ Medicine 12-month training fellowship, as well as a Master’s in Health Care Delivery Leadership at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. In 2021, Dr. Zucker was appointed the first Director for LGBTQ+ Health Services at the biggest health maintenance organization in Israel (Clalit) as well as at Tel Aviv Medical Center (Ichilov). In this role, he has been working hard to create LGBTQ+ oriented health services.

His efforts have helped create new LGBTQ+ clinics in Haifa and Jerusalem, and online services and digital tools to help the LGBTQ+ community access health care easily and discretely. While his work at Clalit focuses on the periphery of Israel, he has now established an LGBTQ+ health center in Tel Aviv. This innovative program focuses on areas such as LGBTQ+ geriatrics, adolescent medicine, parenthood, and mental health.
