History

The Jewish Memorial Hospital Association was established in 1926 by the Jewish community of the Kansas City area with the goal of establishing a Jewish community hospital with a Kosher kitchen in Kansas City, Missouri. On September 7, 1931, the association opened Menorah Hospital (also known as Jewish Memorial Hospital) as a 158-bed hospital at 4949 Rockhill Road, across from the campus of the University of Missouri-Kansas City.[1] [2] The hospital changed its name to Menorah Medical Center in 1951 and merged with Health Midwest in 1993–1994. In 1996, the hospital moved to Overland Park, with the Stowers Institute acquiring the hospital's former site. The hospital was acquired by HCA Healthcare in 2003 as part of their purchase of Health Midwest.[3] [4]
