The Jewish Hospital

Jewish Hospital was the first Jewish hospital in the United States, established in 1850 as a result of the cholera epidemic and the need to treat poor Jews in Cincinnati. Today, Jewish Hospital provides care to people of every race, ethnicity and religious belief. In 1997, the hospital moved from its original location in Avondale to its current home in Kenwood. Jewish Hospital is a full-service, acute care hospital that has world-class services conveniently located in Cincinnati’s northeast suburbs.
Jewish Hospital was named one of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals® in the category of teaching hospitals by Evanston, Ill.-based Solucient®, the nation's leading source of health care information products in 2006. This distinctive honor is bestowed upon just 100 hospitals every year, recognizing excellence in health care.
It was the very first hospital in Southwest Ohio to perform open-heart surgery in a suburban location; this program now has more than 35 years of experience. Jewish provides the full spectrum of cardiovascular care, including angiograms, angioplasty and drug-eluting stents.
The Jewish Hospital Joint Replacement Center is an international leader in orthopedic services. In 2005, the world’s first computer-assisted operating room for orthopedic surgery opened at Jewish. The hospital was also the first in the region to perform Birmingham Hip Resurfacing, a remarkable new alternative to total hip replacement for younger, active patients. The Jewish Hospital Joint Replacement Center performs more total joint surgeries than any other hospital in Greater Cincinnati.
