Geschiedenis
Martin R. Steinberg, MD was born in Russia in 1904 and immigrated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in early childhood. He was educated at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University Medical School. Dr. Steinberg was trained and practiced as an otolaryngologist from 1929 to 1942. He joined the Army Medical Corps in 1942 and became a Lieutenant Colonel. During World War II, assigned to Air Force stations in Atlantic City, New Jersey and Dayton, Ohio, Dr. Steinberg learned hospital administration and worked to establish the England General Hospital in Atlantic City. Looking to continue his career in hospital administration after the war, Dr. Steinberg applied for a Goldwater Fellowship in administration at Mount Sinai Hospital. He was instead hired by Director Dr. Joseph Turner as an Assistant Director in 1945 and served in that role until 1948. Dr. Steinberg served as Director of the Mount Sinai Hospital from 1948-1969. He presided over the Hospital during its transition from a general hospital to an academic medical center. During his tenure, the Mount Sinai School of Medicine was established in 1963, and the Hospital grew from 680 to 1,350 beds and 26 buildings and increased its staff by 233 percent. In the early 1960s, Steinberg worked with Congressional leaders to create Medicare. He retired from Mount Sinai in 1969 and became a consultant.
