| | Manuscript Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland Records
| | | | Creator: | Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland | | | | Dates: | 1957-1978 | | | | Abstract: | The Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland, previously known as the Jewish Convalescent Hospital, was established in Cleveland, Ohio, through the combined resources of the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society (later known as the Jewish Chronic Relief Society) and the Bikur Cholim Sick Relief Society, and with the cooperation of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Cleveland and Mount Sinai Hospital. Founded in 1937, the nineteen bed facility was located at 18810 Harvard Rd., and met the needs of tubercular patients who were released from the Warrensville Sanatorium and the City Hospital. The hospital expanded in the 1950s, and with the decrease in tuberculosis, began to serve the chronically ill. In 1967, the name was changed to the Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland, reflecting new services provided. In 1979, the facility was sold to a proprietary nursing home operator. The collection consists of administrative records including annual reports, Board of Trustees rosters, constitutions, correspondence, and a patient care policy manual. | | | | Call #: | MS 4693 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Hospitals, Convalescent -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Rehabilitation centers -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Health facilities -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Tuberculosis -- Hospitals -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Chronically ill -- Institutional care -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 2 | Title: | Jewish Chronic Relief Society Records
| | | | Creator: | Jewish Chronic Relief Society | | | | Dates: | 1935-1988 | | | | Abstract: | The Jewish Chronic Relief Society was established in 1914 in Cleveland, Ohio, as the Cleveland Ladies Consumptive Aid Society, to provide assistance and care to indigent Jews afflicted with tuberculosis or other chronic conditions. In 1923 the group incorporated as the Cleveland Denver Consumptive Ladies Aid Society and, in 1935, as the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society of Cleveland. Together with the Bikur Cholim Sick Relief Society and with the cooperation of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Cleveland and Mt. Sinai Hospital, the society helped raise the funds to build the Jewish Convalescent Hospital for tuberculosis patients. By the 1940s, the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society included a Junior Auxiliary, the Daughters of the Consumptive Relief Aid Society; a men's group; and a Cleveland Heights group. With the decrease in tuberculosis, the organization changed it's name in 1958 to the Jewish Chronic Relief Society. The organization disbanded in 1988. The collection consists of constitutions, correspondence, donor ads, donor ledgers, donor programs, financial reports, membership cards and lists, minutes, a memorial book, publications, treasurer's accounts, histories, programs, and newspaper articles. | | | | Call #: | MS 4698 | | | | Extent: | 2.00 linear feet (4 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Jewish Chronic Relief Society. | Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Hospitals, Convalescent -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Rehabilitation centers -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Health facilities -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Tuberculosis -- Hospitals -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Chronically ill -- Institutional care -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
