History[edit | edit source]

The origins of Sinai-Grace Hospital can be traced back to the early 20th century with the establishment of two separate hospitals: Sinai Hospital and Grace Hospital. Sinai Hospital was founded to meet the healthcare needs of the Jewish community in Detroit, while Grace Hospital served the broader Detroit population. Over the years, both hospitals expanded their services and facilities to accommodate the growing healthcare demands of the city.

In the late 20th century, recognizing the benefits of consolidation, Sinai Hospital and Grace Hospital merged to form Sinai-Grace Hospital. This merger combined the strengths and resources of both institutions, enabling the newly formed hospital to enhance its medical services and extend its reach within the community.
