The Miriam Hospital has its roots in a grassroots effort that began in the late nineteenth century when a small group of Jewish women responded to the need of members of their community to receive affordable and culturally sensitive healthcare. What began as a door-to-door collection to raise funds for their vision grew from a small outpatient clinic at 49 Orms Street in Providence to The Miriam Hospital of today.

As we celebrate our centennial, we return to the tradition of collecting for a cause--by collecting stories from patients and team members, past and present. We’re inviting everyone to be a part of our centennial celebration. https://www.brownhealth.org/locations/miriam-hospital/celebrating-100-years/share-your-story-miriam-hospital
