Title A name given to the resource The Miriam Hospital Subject The topic of the resource Jewish Hospital Description An account of the resource Because in the late 1800s and early 1900s there was no Jewish hospital, the women of the Miriam Society No. 1 (formerly the Miriam Lodge) raised money and brought Kosher food to the Jewish patients at Rhode Island Hospital and St. Joseph’s Hospital. After years of limited bed space, and lack of accommodation for dietary restrictions, the Miriam Society decided to put a plan in place to fund and build a Jewish hospital. After working on fund raising for 3 years, in 1907 they decided to incorporate as The Miriam Hospital Association for the purpose of “building, maintaining and operating a Hebrew Hospital.” They continued to raise money through social events and household tzedakah boxes (one of which is included in this brochure). By the end of World War I enough money had been collected to enable the women to look for a place to build a hospital. They found a property Parade St in South Providence; it was comprised of 4 buildings, which were renovated and joined together. Charles Brown, whose Yahrzeit calendar is also in this brochure, acted as their property manager. These women, in charge of the Hospital Association, raised money and donated goods to completely furnish the hospital. The first patient was admitted on November 16, 1925.
