Description
In 1906 the Montefiore Hospital Association paid $60,000 for a Hill District site where in 1908 it dedicated the Montefiore Hospital. Among its initiatives, the hospital opened the City of Pittsburgh’s first night clinic for social diseases and made periodic health checkups possible for the under privileged. In 1929 the hospital (left center background) opened a new facility on the University of Pittsburgh’s Health Center complex in Oakland bounded by Fifth Avenue, Darragh, and Chesterfield Streets. This new facility was designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Schmidt, Garden & Erikson. The hospital provided facilities and staff not only to treat illness but also to conduct research, teach, and lead the way in public health education and community service, and is now fully integrated with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
