Grace Hospital had originally merged with or bought out the former Mount Carmel facility. The two staff merged together creating Grace Hospital at the West Outer Drive location.Grace Hospital was founded in 1888 and named after one of the founder's daughters, Grace McMillan Jarvis. Sinai Hospital's roots go back to a clinic opened by Harry Saltzstein, M.D., in 1922.
