Jews' Hospital In New York

138 and 140 West Twenty-eighth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues.

This hospital was erected in the year 1852, and was organized on the 25th day of February of that year, by Samson Simson, John J. Hart, S. M. Isaacs, Benjamin Nathan, John M. Davies, and Henry Hendricks, who will readily be recognized by our old citizens as among the leading Hebrew gentlemen of our city. The lot upon which the hospital is located was donated by the late Samson Simson, and the trustees also received from the late Judah Touro, of New Orleans, a bequest of twenty thousand dollars. The building is four stories in height, fronting on Twenty-eighth street, between the Seventh and Eighth avenues, and extends through to Twenty-seventh street, and contains one large and several small wards on each floor. Although the hospital was originated by gentlemen of the Hebrew faith, yet the benefits of this excellently managed institution, which is supported entirely by the contributions of the members, is freely extended to all, of every religion or nationality, and the visitor will often find under the care of its officers sufferers who widely differ in matters of religious belief.

Since the opening of the institution, over three thousand five hundred in-door patients have been treated, and over one thousand five hundred out-door patients supplied with medicines.
