When Arnold Paul was born at Kaspare Cohn Hospital in 1924, no one knew a family tradition was starting. Kaspare Cohn opened in 1902 to serve Jewish immigrants who were denied healthcare elsewhere. It later merged with Cedars of Lebanon, the precursor to Cedars-Sinai. Arnold Paul’s birth there was the first of four family generations to be born at Cedars-Sinai or at one of the hospitals that later became Cedars-Sinai. The newest member of the family, Asher James Forman, made his debut just last month at Cedars-Sinai. Great-grandfather Paul went to UCLA and the University of Southern California, served in World War II, got married to Yvette and had four children. All four were born at Cedars of Lebanon, with the youngest, Jeff Paul, having been born there in 1957. Jeff grew up, got married, and moved to the San Fernando Valley, but the couple still wanted their children to be born at Cedars-Sinai. “It’s the family hospital,” Jeff Paul said, “and even though we don’t live as close anymore, we still use Cedars-Sinai as our hospital.” Last month, it was Jeff’s daughter Taylor’s turn. When it was time for her and her husband, Marc Forman, to have their first child, they, too, came to Cedars-Sinai to deliver. Asher James Forman was born three weeks early, on July 3. “It’s a testament to our history in the community and our reputation that we were the go-to hospital for four generations of one family,” says Dr. John Ozimek, medical director of Labor and Delivery and the Maternal-Fetal Care Unit. “Let’s keep the tradition going.”
