The Mirror : for and by the people of Michael Reese / Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center

Content:        
Founded in 1881 by the United Hebrew Relief Association (UHRA), Michael Reese Hospital’s first mission was to provide healthcare to immigrants. A bequest by Michael Reese (1817-1878), a German Jewish immigrant, gave the UHRA the funding needed to establish the hospital. The cornerstone was laid on November 4, 1880, and the hospital opened on Oct. 23, 1881. A nurse training school was established in 1890.
