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.
