: ''This page is about a Canadian hospital. For other uses, please see: Mount Sinai (disambiguation)'' Mount Sinai Hospital (MSH) is a hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Mount Sinai is an independently operated facility, although it is physically linked by bridges and tunnels to three University Health Network hospitals (Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre). It is one of many hospitals on ''Hospital Row'', a section of University Avenue where several major hospitals are located. During the 2005 annual charity, the hospital reported to the Canada Revenue Agency as having assets of roughly C$ 520 million. Mount Sinai Hospital has existed in Toronto since 1923 under various names; it has occupied its present site on University Avenue since 1953. In the fiscal year ending March 2013, Mount Sinai Hospital cared for 128,714 inpatients days, delivered almost 7000 babies and performed almost 20,000 surgeries. Toronto and area residents made more than half a million ambulatory clinic visits to Mount Sinai. In that same year, the hospital’s Schwartz/Reisman Emergency Department saw 56,080 visits and that number is expected to increase to 80,000 per year over the next few years.〔Mount Sinai Hospital’s Report to the Community 2012/2013〕 More than 600 staff work at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Mount Sinai's research facility. The Institute was established in 1985 as the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute. On June 24, 2013 it became the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute. Many of its researchers hold faculty appointments at the University of Toronto. In October 2010, Mount Sinai Hospital was named one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers by Mediacorp Canada Inc., which was announced by the Toronto Star newspaper.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Reasons for Selection, 2009 Greater Toronto's Top Employers Competition ) 〕 ==History== In 1913, the Ezras Noshem Society was founded by Slova Greenberg. During the August of that year, the Society began a fundraising campaign to establish a hospital, spearheaded by four immigrant women: Mrs. Cohn, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Spiegel and Mrs. Adler.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mount Sinai Hospital Foundation of Toronto )〕 In 1922, a location at 100 Yorkville Avenue was purchased with $12,000. The two-story building was built as a private residence in 1871 by James D. Bridgland - the Crown's Inspector of Roads; In 1914, the home was converted into the Lyndhurst Private Hospital.〔 In 1923, the hospital opened and was named "The Hebrew Maternity and Convalescent Hospital".〔 Dorothy Dworkin, who helped in the fundraising campaign, became president of the institution.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dorothy Dworkin fonds - Archeion )〕〔 The first list of permanent staff included: a nursing superintendent, four graduate and two undergraduate nurses, a cook, a laundress, a housemaid and a janitor, while the 33 Jewish doctors in the city all volunteered some time.〔 In 1924, the name was changed to Mount Sinai Hospital. In 1930, a new surgical wing was begun by architects, Kaminker & Richmond.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Yorkville )〕 The original designs were drawn up in 1928 by Benjamin Swartz.〔 The project was only completed in 1934. In 1943, a new site was purchased on University Avenue at the corner of Gerrard Street.〔 In 1953, it opened. In the same year, the original Mount Sinai Hospital became the St. Raphael's Nursing Home. In 1985, the original property was designated as a site of historical significance by the Toronto Historical Board.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Restoration of old Mount Sinai Hospital )〕 Despite this, the 1930 wing was partially demolished in 1988.〔 In 2015, Mount Sinai Hospital, Bridgepoint Health, and Circle of Care joined in a voluntary amalgamation to create the Sinai Health System, which has the goal of creating an integrated health system that provides more efficient, coordinated care for patients. At the time of its founding, Mount Sinai Hospital was the only hospital to offer kosher food in Canada.〔 Indeed, it was an institution where Jewish patients could communicate in Yiddish, and be able to observe their religious practices. The hospital has continued to be an institution to provide culturally appropriate services to the Jewish community alongside other immigrant and non-English speaking communities.〔(Mount Sinai Website ) Retrieved August 17, 2010〕 Today, Mount Sinai has one of the most vibrant volunteer programs in Canada. There are over 1,000 active volunteers in over 80 programs. It is affiliated with many Universities, including University of Toronto. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
