Several years ago the present structure and its general set- ap had proven to be inadequate to meet the needs of the com- munity served. In 1924 a campaign to raise money to build a new institution was launched and carried out with marked success. A new hospital is now in process of construction in a block bounded by Fifth avenue, Darragh and Chesterfield streets. This construction is being carried on under the direction of Schmidt, Garden & Erikson, the well known architectural firm of Chicago, with Dr. S. S. Goldwater, director of Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York City, as hospital consultant. The plan calls for a hospital of some two hundred bed pa- tient capacity. Its construction will be of the most modern ;ype including all such service facilities as laundry, power- olant, etc., Teaching units for the training school of nurses will be developed. The clinical laboratories, including the X-ray department, pathological and bacteriological labora- tory, a department for the study of diseases in metabolism, will all be available. A division devoted exclusively to the study of diseases of the heart and blood vessels is planned. The architects’ completed ideal is shown below. There will be a large out patient department and social service group which will face the Fifth avenue side of the hospital. It is anticipated that the New Montefiore Hospital will be open for the reception of patients during the summer of 1928. The hospital has been standardized under the plan form- lated by the American College of Surgeons. It is recognized and accredited by the American Medical Association and the American Hospital Association. It is open for interneships on the basis of regulations laid down by the State Board of Medical Education and Licensure. The training school for nurses is conducted according to the requirements of the State Board of Nurse Examiners. The officers of the Montefiore Hospital Association of Western Pennsylvania are as follows: President, A. C. Leh- man; vice president, Benjamin L. Hirshfield; vice president, J. H. Frank; vice president, Charles Dreifus; secretary, Charles H. Sachs; treasurer, Aaron Cohen; superintendent, C. H. Pelton, M. D.
