Provides much detail of patients, both their medical situation as well as overall personal status.
Jews’ Hospital (later famously renamed as Mount Sinai Hospital) was founded in 1852 to address the needs of New York’s rapidly growing Jewish community. At the time, New York City hospitals often discriminated against Jews - refusing them treatment as patients as well as blocking the hiring of Jewish medical staff.
