History

The same local hospital that attempted to swallow up Emanuel Hospital in 1899[2] was, in 1978, battling them for its own survival.[3] The latter situation resulted in a compromise: for then, Unity would "keep its methadone maintenance drug program and its outpatient services open, both of which will be run by Jewish Hospital." By 1989 Jewish also lost a battle for survival.[4]

Unity Hospital's 1545 St. Johns Place building,[5][6] once the hospital closed,[7] became an apartment building.
