        A small wooden-frame building was purchased at the intersection of Kinney and High streets in 1900 by the Daughters of Israel Hospital Association for $4,000.  The Hospital was formally chartered two years later, in 1902 with the merger of the Hebrew Hospital and Dispensary.  Six years later the hospital was expanded to accommodate 80 beds.  In 1928, Louis Bamberger donated to the new building for the hospital.  The finished hospital  was a 12-story Spanish-style hospital with 350 beds, a 5 story school of nursing and a 4-story outpatient service building.  The entire complex cost $3.5 million.
