History / Biographical: Montreal's Jewish Hospital of Hope, originally named the Jewish Incurable Hospital, was opened in 1942. Located in the east end, it expanded its premises several times and is now located in the Snowdon area. A non-sectarian institution, the Hospital of Hope admits the chronically ill or physically handicapped and cares for them with a variety of therapy programs, an x-ray clinic, a dental department and a laboratory. To further improve the lives of chronic-care patients, the hospital runs a wide selection of recreational and religious activities, including pet visits and arts and crafts.
