"Mount Sinai Opens New Urgent Care Center" - Caroline Lewis
The new urgent care center tucked into Mount Sinai Health System's newly renovated, glass-paneled ambulatory care building on Union Square East has an edge over CityMD and other providers, said Kelly Cassano, DO, chief of ambulatory care at Mount Sinai Downtown. "What will separate us from some of the others is that within the building we have 29 or so other medical/surgical specialties," Cassano said. "If a patient comes in and they need follow-up care, we can make an appointment for them to be seen by a specialist in the same building. In some cases they can actually be seen on the same day. "The new center, which opened in mid-September, is seeing about a dozen patients each day. It marks the latest development in the health system's project to create a network of care below 34th Street that includes more ambulatory services and a miniature version of Beth Israel. So far some 600 Beth Israel staff members have moved to other positions throughout the system with equal or higher pay, a Mount Sinai spokesman said.
