Rosenberg was a major community leader in Northeast Philadelphia, and because of his leadership, Healthcare Center #10 was built and is now one of the busiest healthcare centers in the City of Philadelphia; and WHEREAS, The plans for Health Center #10 appeared in the Philadelphia City budget for 21 years, but each year construction of the center was postponed despite an exploding population of Northeast Philadelphia residents; and WHEREAS, In 1969, Judge Rosenberg learned that the property adjacent to the Northeast Philadelphia Regional Library was for sale and called a meeting of community representatives, diverse in age, religion, education and vocation, but united in their desire to obtain the promised public health center for Northeast Philadelphia; and WHEREAS, Judge Rosenberg's vision and energy re-ignited the community's effort to have the health center built, and seven years later, it finally was built and opened to the public at 2230 Cottman Avenue; and WHEREAS, The Community Board of Health Center #10 has voted unanimously to support the designation of the health center as "District Health Center #10, the Judge Edward B.

Rosenberg; and WHEREAS, Judge Rosenberg was a graduate of Central High School, Temple University School of Law and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
