It merged with St. John's Episcopal Hospital to form Interfaith Medical Center in 1983.

[1] The hospital's predecessor was the Brooklyn Hebrew Hospital Society,[2][3] which formed in 1895 as a clinic; they served as a small dispensary and were located at 70 Johnson Street[4] that grew to serve the burgeoning populations of Crown Heights and Prospect Heights.

In the early 20th century, many Jewish communities saw both benefit and need in developing modern hospital facilities.

In addition to the main building, which faced Classon Avenue, the hospital had a nursing school and residence (built in 1927) and several adjoining pavilions, wings and clinics, the last of which seem to date from the 1950s.

[9] While the hospital thrived for more than 50 years after its opening and continued to expand further along and across Prospect Place, it ran into financial trouble as the neighborhood suffered from municipal disinvestment and white flight.

A building on Prospect Place continued to serve as an outpatient clinic of the surviving organization.
