With impressive ceremonies in which Mayor Wagner and other high city officials participated, Beth Israel Hospital, a facility founded 75 years ago as a small, Lower East Side clinic, officially changed its name today to Beth Israel Medical Center of New York.
One of the foremost medical treatment and research facilities in the city, Beth Israel includes in its broad complex a number of buildings and special departments covering a wide range of activities. Among these are two structures now being built, a home for the Beth Israel School of Nursing and a 350-bed building for patient care.
