In June 1946 Jewish Hospital launched a fundraising drive for a new hospital. Images in the fundraising pamphlet contrasted the overcrowded wards and outdated equipment of the current Jewish Hospital with the modern facilities that a new institution would offer. The drive reached its goal of $750,000 in just over a month.
In drawing attention to the cramped conditions of Jewish Hospital in the 1940s, the pamphlet also provides a view of the racial segregation of its staff. In these images, the laboratory technicians are all white women, and the laundry workers are all African American women
