"Mount Sinai Is Transforming Care Downtown"
Modern healthcare is evolving. Nationwide, hospitals are closing at a rate of roughly 30 per year, as healthcare turns to new models that focus on keeping patients out of hospital beds and in ambulatory, outpatient settings. In response, hospitals need to be nimbler and more adaptive, and founded in the technological and medical advances of today. That’s why Mount Sinai is building a new $1 billion vision and platform for care in Downtown Manhattan. The new Mount Sinai Beth Israel will feature all-private inpatient beds, cutting-edge cardiac and neurologic interventional services, an operative platform, and a state-of-the-art emergency department. “This represents an entirely new approach to the delivery of care for New Yorkers, and our commitment to adapt our health system to make sure our patients can get the care they need, when and where they need it,” said Jeremy Boal, MD, president of Mount Sinai Downtown and executive vice president and chief clinical officer at the Mount Sinai Health System.
