A diagnostic center, patterned after the department of Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, is to be created at Mt. Zion Hospital here, according to plans which are being rushed forward by its directors.
Mt. Zion Hospital is an agency of the San Francisco Federation of Jewish charities.
The diagnostic center, as planned, would serve not only men, women and children in San Francisco but would render medical assistance to afflicted persons in rural communities.
Its personnel would include specialists in every field of medicine, men who are expert in every branch of materia medica. They would sit in each case as a jury, each specialist diagnosing the case from his own field.
In the case of suffering patients from rural communities, they would be sent to this center in San Francisco, their cases diagnosed, and the findings of the “jury” hurried back to their attending physicians in their own places of residence.
