Jewish Emergency Care

Jewish Hospital opened in 1905 with a mission to provide all patients with the highest quality care and a strong emphasis on research and education. Today, Jewish Hospital is a 517-bed, internationally renowned, high-tech tertiary referral center located in downtown Louisville, developing leading-edge advancements in hand and microsurgery, heart and lung care, home care, rehab medicine (including sports medicine), orthopaedics, neuroscience, occupational health, organ transplantation, outpatient care, wound care and primary care.

Many of the hospital’s clinical programs have achieved national rankings for excellence. In 2007, Jewish Hospital was once again ranked among the nation’s top 50 hospitals in U.S. News & World Report’s annual “America’s Best Hospitals” listing. Noted for numerous medical “firsts” in Kentucky, the nation and the world, Jewish Hospital is the site of the nation’s first and the world’s second successful hand transplants, and the world’s first and second successful AbioCor® Implantable Replacement Heart transplant. The hospital is federally designated to perform all five solid organ transplants – heart, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas.

Today, Jewish Hospital is the flagship facility for Jewish Hospital & St. Mary’s HealthCare (JHSMH), a regional health network that includes 70 facilities, more than 8,100 employees and 1,900 patient beds in Kentucky and southern Indiana.
