The Mount Sinai Medical Center

The Mount Sinai Hospital

Serving patients from the surrounding communities, throughout the United States, and around the globe, The Mount Sinai Hospital is a premier 1,171-bed tertiary care facility.

World-Renowned Expertise

Internationally acclaimed for excellence in nearly every aspect of medicine, Mount Sinai is also recognized as one of the nation's best hospitals. Among the specialties consistently cited as outstanding are: geriatrics, cardiology, cancer care, gastroenterology, transplantation, rehabilitation medicine, gynecology, AIDS, otolaryngology, neurology, and neurosurgery. And Mount Sinai is the site to several of the country's Centers of Excellence and Federal HHS-designated regional centers of care.

Leading these efforts are nearly 2,000 attending physicians on our medical staff in every specialty and subspecialty, who play a vital role in residency and fellowship training. You will, in fact, work side-by-side with those who have made, and continue to make, medical history.

Comprehensive, Patient-Focused Care

Our approach to clinical care is rooted in a long-standing conviction that medical excellence requires both scientific expertise and respect for the patient as an individual, championing the treatment of the whole person and not just the disease.

From this simple ideal has emerged a tradition of meeting the total medical needs of our patients, from preventive to life-saving, throughout the life cycle. Consequently, personalized, patient-focused care is the cornerstone of both our inpatient and ambulatory care delivery models.

Our Unique Care Centers

Taking the lead in the New York metropolitan area, Mount Sinai has redesigned the delivery of inpatient care, creating eight Care Centers, or hospitals within a hospital, where patients with related illnesses and similar needs are clustered under one umbrella. In this model, most of the services they require are conveniently housed in a single location, and each patient has a dedicated, multidisciplinary care team built around the attending physician and a primary registered nurse. Collaborating to provide the highest quality care and foster the best possible patient experience and outcome are specialized professionals (therapists, nutritionists, social workers, and pharmacists) and business and support personnel.

Mount Sinai residents, who are integral members of this team, receiveextensive in-service training, whether at the Care Center bedside,in the OR, on the intensive care unit, or in the emergency room.

The Finest Ambulatory Care

Also drawing on the strengths of multidisciplinary experts to meet the total needs of our patients are Mount Sinai's outpatient programs, where "continuity of care" teams foster the development of personal and ongoing relationships between caregiver and patient.

Nearly a dozen primary care programs provide residents with first-hand experience as generalists in office settings, while more than 50 specialty programs, corralling Mount Sinai's expertise in the care of a wide range of chronic conditions, offer residents opportunities to practice medicine in outpatient locations where care is increasingly delivered. Both expose practitioners to the full course of illness and recovery while enabling them to follow their own patients over time.
