Einstein Medical Center was built in 1864 as Jewish Hospital for the Aged, Infirmed and Destitute also known as the Jewish Hospital. The hospital had a goal to provide medical care to "the sick and wounded without regard to creed, color or nationality". Einstein Medical Center officially opened in 1866 with 22 beds at 56th and Haverford Road in West Philadelphia. The hospital expanded, moving to Old York Road in 1873, and opening various homes and clinics.

By the 20th century, Jewish-sponsored hospitals such as the Jewish Hospital became havens for Jewish doctors who could not admit their patients to other hospitals because of anti-Semitism.[http://jewishexponent.com/2012/10/22/einstein-changes-the-equation/ Einstein Changes the Equation - Jewish Exponent]

In 1951, volunteer president of Mount Sinai wrote a letter asking physicist Albert Einstein for permission to use his name as a part of the hospital. Einstein gave them permission in a letter dated June 28, 1951. In 1952, the Jewish hospital merged with Northern Liberties Hospital and Mount Sinai Hospital to form a single medical center.{{cite web |url=http://www.einsteinnewsroom.com/index.php/About-Us/history-of-albert-einstein-healthcare-network.html |title=News Room |work=einsteinnewsroom.com |access-date=1 June 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110527042247/http://www.einsteinnewsroom.com/index.php/About-Us/history-of-albert-einstein-healthcare-network.html |archive-date=27 May 2011 }}
