sider restructuring the
hospital. No job cuts are ex-
pected, he said.
Steinberg also said Sinai
and the Detroit Medical
Center, whose negotiators
discontinued merger talks
last September, would
reconsider a possible affilia-
tion.
"I am not pleased or disap-
pointed by the decision,"
said Dr. Sheldon Kantor,
Sinai's chief of staff. "It is
business as usual. The pro-
cess of medicine hasn't
changed, nor has the high
quality we deliver.
"We will still look at joint
ventures," Dr. Kantor said.
"Maybe we won't need a full-
scale merger. Maybe we will
keep joint ventures limited
to certain areas."
Sinai began discussing
possible affiliations after
Steinberg took over the helm
two years ago. A partial or
full-scale merger was part of
Steinberg's plan to help in-
crease the patient load at
Sinai, which normally fills
between 350 to 400 of its 620
beds.
Sinai negotiators have
said they will hold firm to
their commitment not to
enter into any agreement
with another institution
without assurance that
Sinai's Jewish identity
would be maintained.
Under a merger, Sinai,
built in 1953 with Jewish
community contributions,
would continue to be a mem-
ber agency of the Jewish
Welfare Federation.
Dr. Joseph Honet, who
chairs Sinai's widely accla-
imed department of
rehabilitative medicine, said
calling off the merger
"provides a tremendous op-
portunity for Sinai."
Dr. Honet said it is time
for the Jewish community to
concentrate on the hospital's
strengths, not on its
weaknesses. He referred to
the newly refurbished, state-
of-the-art rehabilitation
wing at Sinai.
Sinai recently gutted a
ward and invested an
estimated $750,000 to
rebuild the rehabiliation
unit. Built as a 30-bed ward
with limited handicapper
accessibility, the ward now
provides 18 units for han-
dicappers.
Dr. Honet said the
hospital's 15 department
chairs are optimistic that
Sinai's strengths will
enhance its chance of sur-
vival.
"We can survive without a
merger," Dr. Honet said.
"There is nothing wrong
with a merger, but a merger
because of weakness is

wrong. We are strong and
can be an equal partner."
Dr. Melvyn Rubenfire,
Sinai's chief of medicine,
said the merger was not
meant to happen. Over time,
Dr. Rubenfire said, Ford
probably would have
disbanded some of the
hospital's most prized, yet
not financially profitable

Dr. Honet said it's
time for the
community to see
Sinai's strengths.

programs — education and
research.
"There wouldn't have been
any Sinai to be proud of,"
Dr. Rubenfire said. "Now,
with the support of the Jew-
ish community and a sup-
portive board and planning
administration with a vi-
sion, we can build on the
available options.
"In the long term, we will
have to have some integra-
tion with another system be-
cause no hospital can stand
alone," Dr. Rubenfire
said. ❑
