Mount Sinai Hospital

Mount Sinai Hospital, founded in 1852, is one of the oldest and largest teaching hospitals in the United States. It is located in East Harlem in the New York City borough of Manhattan and is part of the Mount Sinai health system which has over 7,400 physicians, 3,815 beds, and delivers over 16,000 babies a year. In 2019–20, the hospital was ranked 14th among the nearly 5,000 hospitals in the US by the U.S. News & World Report.

The hospital was established to address the needs of New York City’s rapidly growing Jewish immigrant community and serves as an academic medical center with a medical school, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The hospital has a long history of innovation in the medical field and has made significant contributions to gene therapy, cardiology, immunotherapy, organ transplants, cancer treatments, and minimally invasive surgery.
