Overview and metadata sections
Dr. Ludwig Loeb, an obstetrician, graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1890. He served as medical director for the Jewish Maternity Hospital and medical chief of the Jewish Hospital. Loeb married Agnes Stern in September 1900 with whom he had two children, David and Adrian. Loeb died May 4, 1957.
