Cohen, Samuel

88 cm of textual records, architectural drawings & photographs;; 1 1200 feet sound tape

Samuel Cohen was born in New York, where as a young man he rose to the position of Assistant Director of the Beth Israel Hospital. In 1933, he accepted an offer to become the Superintendent of the yet unopened Jewish General Hospital. He was entirely in charge of hiring physicians, surgeons, nurses, maintenance and support staff of which he later said “We tied to get as many Jewish staff as we could.” He set high standards for clinical care, and established the values that the hospital follows to this day. He insisted on respected Jewish values, most notably the Kosher food service, while being open to patients of every faith and creed. Samuel Cohen continued as Superintendent of the hospital through the tribulations of the Depression and the Second World War, and then through the period of the hospital’s greatest growth, all the while insisting on the development and maintenance of high standards and promoting the hospital’s rapidly improving reputation. He oversaw the expansion of the laboratory facilities, the creation of the Teaching Hospital, the School of Nursing, the Social Services Department, and the annual maintenance campaigns. He also played a large part in the Hospital’s first two major expansion campaigns noting of the first few years “We opened one floor, then another floor, and we found out before long that the hospital was getting small.” Mr. Cohen retired from his position of administrative leadership on December 31, 1967, but continued his close ties with the JGH, both as a friend and a source of advice. In 1994 Mr. Cohen received the first ever Distinguished Service Award from the Jewish General Hospital. He died in 2000 aged 100 years old.
