About The Mount Sinai Hospital

Since 1852, The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City has been a source of major advances in medicine, including blood transfusions, flu vaccines, liver transplants, genetic research, and geriatrics. The Hospital fosters an environment in which innovation is encouraged and achieved.

A premier tertiary-care facility, The Mount Sinai Hospital draws patients from surrounding communities, across the country, and around the world. Our staff of more than 3,000 full-time and voluntary physicians treats almost 47,000 inpatients and 427,000 outpatients each year. Many of our faculty are in private practice in the neighborhoods surrounding the Hospital.

A regional center for spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation, Mount Sinai has one of the most comprehensive and innovative rehabilitation programs in the country. U.S. News & World Report ranks our programs in geriatrics, digestive disorders, neurology and neurosurgery, ear-nose-and-throat, and heart disease among the top 20 nationally.

Mount Sinai was the first medical school to establish a department of geriatrics, as well as departments of environmental and occupational medicine. Our Cardiovascular Institute fosters an innovative, interdisciplinary approach to treating heart disease. The Hospital is also home to the world's only center for the diagnosis and treatment of Jewish genetic diseases, such as Tay-Sachs.

The Mount Sinai Hospital is part of The Mount Sinai Medical Center, which also includes Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
