Four Hospitals
To Be Jewish
Affiliated No
More

New York (JTA) — The Jew-
ish-affiliated hospitals in
Denver, Milwaukee and Min-
neapolis last week announced
they will merge with or sell to
nearby non-Jewish hospitals
primarily for economic reasons,
despite concern by some local
Jews that the reorganization
will mean a loss of care sen-
sitive to Jewish needs.
These moves apparently are
the first of their kind for Jewish
hospitals in the rapidly chang-
ing health care industry.
However, most Jewish hospi-
tals have consolidated services
with other hospitals without
merging, Warren Green, presi-
dent of Mount Sinai Hospital
of Minneapolis, told The
Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle.
The 1986 "Jewish Directory
and Almanac" lists 46 hospi-
tals and medical centers in its
"Yellow Pages."
In Denver, the 70-year-old
Beth Israel Hospital has been
sold to St. Anthony Hospital
for an undisclosed amount. The
merger agreement is set to be
completed in September.
Beth Israel, with 167 beds,
also operates a nursing home,
as well as three health care
clinics for the elderly, mobile
diagnostic programs and two
adult day care centers. The
merger has left questions as to
what will happen to Denver's
Jewish elderly who receive care
at Beth Israel Geriatric Center,
but board members promise
that the hospital's sale will
facilitate the building of a new
Beth Israel to serve the elder-
ly.
In Milwaukee, Mount Sinai
Medical Center, with 410 beds,
will merge with Good Samari-
tan Medical Center within the
next two years, becoming the
non-sectarian Sinai-Samaritan
Medical Center. Mount Sinai
officials said they were com-
pelled to merge because the
high cost of providing health
care and the overcrowded
Milwaukee health care market
were threatening its closure.
The other Mount Sinai, in
Minneapolis, has begun steps
to merge with Metropolitan
Medical Center there. The two
hospitals will be joined under
Health One, the area's largest
multi-hospital organization.
