Mount Sinai Hospital (Hartford)

Mount Sinai Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut, was a Jewish-sponsored hospital that served the Greater Hartford community for much of the 20th century. Founded in 1923, the hospital initially aimed to provide culturally sensitive and religiously observant medical care to the Jewish population, who faced occasional discrimination and barriers to access at other local hospitals.

Over time, Mount Sinai Hospital expanded its services to serve the entire community, regardless of race, religion, or ethnicity. It became known for its high-quality medical care and commitment to patient well-being. The hospital offered a comprehensive range of medical specialties, including internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and cardiology.

In the 1990s, due to financial pressures and the changing landscape of healthcare, Mount Sinai Hospital merged with Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford. The Mount Sinai campus eventually ceased operating as a separate hospital. The legacy of Mount Sinai Hospital continues through the services and programs offered by Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, reflecting its commitment to providing inclusive and compassionate care to the Greater Hartford community. The former hospital building has since been repurposed for other uses.
