Montefiore Medical Center, in the Bronx, New York, is the university hospital of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The hospital, named after Moses Montefiore, is one of the 50 largest employers in New York State [1].

Located in Norwood, it was founded in 1884 by "by leaders of New York’s Jewish community" as the Home for Chronic Invalids, housing mainly tuberculosis patients. Montefiore established the United States' first hospital departments of social medicine and home health care. Its newly established pediatric hospital, the Children's Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM), made international headlines when a series of surgeries successfully separated the conjoined twins Carl and Clarence Aguirre of the Philippines.
