Mount Sinai Hospital (Hartford)

Mount Sinai Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut was a hospital founded in 1923, to provide a facility for Jewish doctors who, due to their religion, were unable to obtain staff privileges in other hospitals in the area.[1] In 1995 it merged with Saint Francis Hospital & Medical Center, which had been affiliated with Mount Sinai Hospital since 1990, the first recorded instance of collaboration between a Catholic hospital and a Jewish hospital in United States.[2] The facilities that once housed the hospital are now designated as the Mount Sinai Campus of Saint Francis Care.
