==History== Founded as the '''Jewish Hospital for the Aged, Infirmed and Destitute''' (''Jewish Hospital'' for short) in August 1864, this hospital was an important institution in the [[history of the Jews in Philadelphia]], providing care for "the suffering poor of all religions". It officially opened in 1866, starting with 22 beds at 56th and Haverford Road in West Philadelphia. The hospital expanded, moving to [[Old York Road]] in 1873, and opening various homes and clinics. By the 20th century, Jewish-sponsored hospitals such as the Jewish Hospital became havens for Jewish doctors who could not admit their patients to other hospitals because of anti-Semitism.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://jewishexponent.com/2012/10/22/einstein-changes-the-equation/ |title=Einstein Changes the Equation – Jewish Exponent<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2019-03-04 |archive-date=2019-03-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306044027/http://jewishexponent.com/2012/10/22/einstein-changes-the-equation/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
In 1951, the hospital was named after [[Albert Einstein]], following a letter from the volunteer president of Mount Sinai requesting permission to use his name—permission Einstein graciously granted. The following year, in 1952, [[Northern Liberties]] Hospital and [[Mount Sinai Hospital (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)|Mount Sinai Hospital]] merged to create a unified medical center.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.einsteinnewsroom.com/index.php/About-Us/history-of-albert-einstein-healthcare-network.html |title=News Room |work=einsteinnewsroom.com |access-date=1 June 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110527042247/http://www.einsteinnewsroom.com/index.php/About-Us/history-of-albert-einstein-healthcare-network.html |archive-date=27 May 2011 }}</ref>
