The Emma Kaufmann Clinic was a women’s clinic and dispensary located at 3028 Brereton St. on the campus of the Western Pennsylvania Medical College in the Polish Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The clinic was dedicated in 1897 by Isaac Kaufmann and named for his late wife.[1]“Valuable Memorial Gift,” Pittsburgh Press, June 4, 1895 (online—Newspapers.com). [2]“Dedication of the Emma Kaufmann Clinic,” Jewish Criterion, March 26, 1897, p. 8 (online). It closed after the college associated with the University of Pittsburgh in 1911. The building was sold in 1913 and the proceeds held in trust until 1935, when Isaac and Emma’s daughter Liliane S. Kaufmann created the Kaufmann Clinic in the Cathedral of Learning as a health service for female students, faculty, and staff.[3]Starrett, Agnes Lynch. “Through one hundred and fifty years: the University of Pittsburg,” Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Press, 1937, p. 363 (online—Historic Pittsburgh).
