- Admin History/Bio
- Folks Farein was a social welfare organization in the 1920s and 1930s. It provided medical advice and consultations for those newly immigrated and those who were bedridden in hospitals. It essentially provided social comfort to those in medical need. Once organizations like Mount Sinai and JIAS became more popular, there was less demand for an organization like Folks Farein.
