About Mount Sinai School of Medicine:
On January 15, 1852, nine men came together to establish the Jews’ Hospital in New York, to offer free medical care to the indigent “Hebrews” in the City who were not able to provide for themselves during their illness. This was the beginning of The Mount Sinai Hospital. Sampson Simson was unquestionably the Father of Mount Sinai: He was the first President of the Board of Directors. He gave the land on which the first hospital was built, and he personally met many of the financial burdens of the young institution. When he resigned in February of 1855 at the age of 75, the other Directors sent a delegation to his home in Yonkers to beg him to reconsider, but to no avail. With the founding of the organization, a fundraising effort was begun to secure enough money to erect a hospital building. But, with mounting costs, it was the bequest of Judah Touro, a resident of New Orleans, for $20,000 that really assured the timely completion of the venture. Ground was broken for the Hospital in the fall of 1853. A year and a half later, on May 17, 1855, the Jews’ Hospital was officially dedicated, opening for patients on June 5.
