Lucien Moss left his entire estate to the Jewish Hospital to build a facility on its grounds — The Lucien Moss Home for Incurables of the Jewish Faith.

Moss believed that the sick who could not be cured required and deserved help as much as those who might fully recover. Choosing to endow an institution that would help people live with their illnesses put him far ahead of the medical mainstream of his time. A century later, it is clear that Moss' decision made him a visionary.
