Dr. Bloom took a synchronized
step with the community to
change this. While Detroit Jews
participated in continued fund-

day-to-day work at Mt. Carmel,
established a residency program
in oral surgery.
"That was my idea for bring-
ing Jewish men into the field," he
says. "My first resident was Jew-
ish."
Sinai Hospital opened in Jan-
uary 1953, whereupon Dr. Bloom,
as the chairman of the depart-
ment of oral and maxillofacial
surgery, became one of the orig-
