Beth Israel Hospital 
Beth Israel Hospital —Hebrew for "House of Israel"— was founded on May 28, 1890. At a time when most of the city's hospitals would not treat newly-arrived immigrants, 40 immigrant Orthodox Jews opened a small clinic and emergency room at 206 Broadway. After decades of expansions and acquisitions, in 2013 Beth Israel Medical Center joined the Mount Sinai Health System. Its nursing school — then known as Phillips School of Nursing at Mount Sinai Beth Israel — became Mount Sinai's sole nursing school. School of Nursing 
The school was established to train nurses for the nascent Beth Israel Hospital. As the demand for services at Beth Israel Hospital grew, the recruitment of nurses became a necessity. The school reflected a historical national movement toward nurses providing services at hospitals while they were in training. Academics
