100 Years of Excellence

A Century of ExcellenceHistory

At Jewish Hospital, where medical history is in the making, our address now commemorates a medical pioneer, Abraham Flexner, Ph.D. Dr. Flexner revolutionized medical education with his book Medical Education in the United States and Canada, published in 1910. The University of Louisville was among the many schools that embraced his call for reforms, fueling later medical breakthroughs.

Through the years, expansion of the Jewish Hospital Medical Campus centered on the street named in his honor, Abraham Flexner Way. We are now proud to make it our official address.
