Show detail Hide detail

Mount Sinai Hospital : Mount Sinai Hospital opened in 1923 as a 30 bed facility at 100 Yorkville Avenue. The hospital's origins date back to 1917, when a Jewish women's benefit association founded the Jewish Old Folks Home at 31 Cecil Street. Mount Sinai was founded for virtually the same reasons that led to the establishment of the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal in 1934 (see MG 28, I 423). Patients at the hospital were treated by members of the Toronto Jewish Medical Association, founded in 1925 by a group of 40 physicians.

The hospital embarked on a fund-raising campaign and in 1933, at the height of the Great Depression, its bed capacity was increased to 84. Faced with ever-increasing needs of the community, the Hospital relocated to 550 University Avenue. Re-named of the New Mount Sinai Hospital, it opened on Sept. 3, 1953 as a 300 bed non-sectarian facility. In September 1963, it was designated a University of Toronto teaching hospital. Continuing to grow, Mount Sinai moved to 600 University Avenue on June 26, 1973 as a 608 bed hospital.
