    905 HOSPITAL CARE AT SECOND AVENUE AND EAST 17TH STREET, NEW YORK CITY, 1894-1984 HENRY PINSKER, M.D., DAVID M. NovICK, M.D., AND BEVERLY L. RICHMAN, M.D. Beth Israel Medical Center The Mount Sinai School of Medicine of the City University of New York New York, New York B ETH Israel Medical Center's recent sale of the building that housed its Morris J. Bernstein Institute brings to an end nearly 90 years of medi- cal care at Second Avenue and East 17th Street in New York City. During this time, three separate institutions provided care to differing patient popu- lations in the handsome building at 307 Second Avenue. New York Lying- In Hospital, Manhattan General Hospital, and the Morris J. Bernstein In- stitute each contributed to medical progress in areas that at one time received little attention from the medical community. Except for the removal of two ironwork balconies that were found to be unsafe in 1979 and removal of the glass solarium from the roof in 1981, the exterior of the building is substantially as it was when opened in 1902 (Figure 1). A historical perspective of the three hospitals follows. NEW YORK LYING-IN HOPSITAL The New York Lying-In Hospital had its origins in the yellow fever epi- demic of 1798.1 Dr. David Hosack, a prominent practitioner in New York City, observed that many expectant mothers, widowed by the yellow fever, "were rendered wretched under the accumulated evils of grief and poverty." At that time there were no provisions for the medical care of women dur- ing pregnancy or confinement.

    DIRECTORIES AND LISTS EDITORIAL NOTE The directories of Jewish National Organizations and Jewish Periodicals in the United States and Canada, which have appeared regularly in this section, are omitted from the present volume. In their place is published the 1946-47 Directory of Jewish Federa- ations, Welfare Funds, Community Councils and Local Affiliated Agencies. Also omitted from this section is the list of Jews in American Public Service. This list and the directories of national organiza- tions and periodicals, which last appeared in Volume 47 (pages 557-632), will again be published, in revised form, in Volume 49. 1946-47 DIRECTORY OF JEWISH FEDERATIONS, WELFARE FUNDS, COMMUNITY COUNCILS AND LOCAL AFFILIATED AGENCIES Cotnpikd by COUNCIL OF JEWISH FEDERATIONS AND WELFARE FUNDS The present Directory is one of a series compiled annually by the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. It includes 607 communities, 266 of which are part of metropolitan or regional organizations. This compares with 247 communities in the 1939 Directory and 305 in the 1943 Directory, and reflects the development of Jewish communal organization in America. The 607 communities comprise at least 95% of the Jewish population of the United States and about 90% of the Jewish population of Canada. Listed for each community is the local central agency— federation, welfare fund or community council—with its address and the names of the president and executive director.
