Directions to The Morchand Center

Enter the hospital from Madison Avenue just south of 101st Street (See below for directions to the hospital). At this location, a large blue vertical "Mount Sinai Medical Center" sign is on the sidewalk in front of a large revolving door. The building number is 1468. Proceed through the revolving door and inform the guard that you are expected at The Morchand Center.

From within the hospital:

Walk up the stairs behind the guard; you will enter a large open atrium lobby. To your left are glass doors that lead to the Annenberg Building. Enter through the doors and proceed to the elevator bank farthest to your right. These elevators will take you to the 13th Floor. Once you have arrived on the 13th Floor you will see The Morchand Center's double doors with welcome mat right by the elevator. Our name is both on the welcome mat outside our Center and above the doors.
