Mount Sinai Hospital (Cleveland)

Mount Sinai Hospital in Cleveland opened in 1903 in East 32nd Street, originally as a Jewish hospital.[1] It quickly became known as a hospital for the city's poorer inhabitants, whether Jewish or not. It is known for pioneering the separation of conjoined twins. Sidney Lewine was a director of the hospital in the 1960s and '70s.

The hospital moved to a larger facility on East 105th Street in 1916. The hospital closed in February of 2000.

In 1908, Dorothy Dworkin trained and would receive her diploma from the Medical State Board of Ohio during her time at the hospital.[2]
