The Teen Board is a project of The Jewish Fund. The Jewish Fund
was established in 1997 from the sale proceeds of Sinai Hospital to
the Detroit Medical Center. Sinai Hospital was a Jewish community
funded facility that grew into one of metropolitan Detroit’s top
health care institutions. As a legacy of Sinai Hospital, The Jewish
Fund continues the tradition of assuring quality and compassionate
care for those in need in Metropolitan Detroit.
