1910 Class of Hebrew Hospital Students and Graduate Nurses
Description
The 1910 class of Hebrew Hospital students and graduate nurses. These nurses were likely to help treat patients infected with influenza during the 1918-1920 pandemic.
In 1981, Sinai completed construction on a $30 million construction project that included a larger emergency room, an expanded and modernized labor and delivery floor, a new nursery, and a one-day surgery center.
Beginning in 1951, the Alumnae Association of Sinai Hospital created a "mother" and "daughter" program where current students would live with retired nurse hosts.
Over its first 125 years, the pediatrics department at Sinai went from having no full-time pediatrician on staff to boasting one of the most advanced pediatric care departments in the region.
Sinai doctors undertook the risky procedure of implanting a shunt in the brain of an unborn baby with hydocephalus, increasing the chances of survivability of the baby and her twin.
