Resumption of Elective Surgery for the Mount Sinai Health System
We are pleased to announce that all Mount Sinai Health System hospitals have received approval from the state to resume elective surgeries, which were halted by Governor Cuomo on March 23 to make beds available for COVID-19 patients. The approval is effective immediately. Elective surgeries are now available at The Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Beth Israel, Mount Sinai Brooklyn, Mount Sinai Morningside, Mount Sinai South Nassau, Mount Sinai Queens, Mount Sinai West, New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, Mount Sinai Union Square, and The Blavatnik Family - Chelsea Medical Center at Mount Sinai. Teams across the health system have been working for weeks to prepare a safe environment at all our facilities so patients can be confident in coming to get the care they need. We are grateful to Governor Cuomo and the New York State Department of Health for its decision to enable us to provide comprehensive care to the many communities we serve.
