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
excellent and compassionate care for
those in need in Metropolitan Detroit
through its annual grantmaking. •
