      Part of Collection of Mount Sinai Hospital-related oral histories

      This is a recording of the oral history of Helen Rehr, DSW conducted by Albert S. Lyons on December 4th, 1984. It begins with a discussion of her parents and education and then dives into the history of social work and the early years of social service at Mount Sinai. They discuss Doris Seigel (Director of the Social Service Department, 1953-1971) and the changes they together implemented to the department, these include the professionalizion of the staff; her fight to secure positions on the Medical Board for social work and nursing; and her unsuccessful attempt to have them become fully accredited departments.

      Dr. Rehr recalls the objections to the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in the early 1950s. Furthermore, Lyons recounts the criticisms voiced by the valedictorian during the first graduation ceremony. She shares her own opinion on the school, as well as observations on the motives, education, and training of medical students and nurses.

      Other significant topics include: the Neustadter Home and the Narcotic Rehabilitation Center (known as the Methadone Clinic); the

      Ladies Auxiliary Board and Women’s Auxiliary Board (now Auxiliary Board); and the overall trend towards more humanistic care within the institution.
