For more than a decade, Mount Sinai has been modernizing, enhancing, and transforming care to best serve our downtown Manhattan communities. Mount Sinai’s vision for care downtown is based on the idea that today care can be delivered to anyone, anywhere, at any time. That’s why we are creating an advanced, flexible, outpatient-based, community-connected model of care that is, most importantly, supported by Mount Sinai’s world-leading hospitals, ambulatory practices, and institutes and centers of excellence. 

To accomplish this, Mount Sinai has invested more than $600 million to upgrade and build state-of-the-art facilities below 34th Street. And we are just getting started. In creating a more modern, accessible health care platform, we have brought the unparalleled expertise and dedication of Mount Sinai’s medical teams closer to the residents of lower Manhattan.

Today, more than 600 Mount Sinai physicians practice downtown, offering over 30 medical and surgical specialties across 20 centers. High-quality, comprehensive care is available throughout lower Manhattan. From cancer care to urgent care, from behavioral health to specialized ambulatory surgeries: no matter the need, Mount Sinai can bring the care to you.

We are proudly changing how we deliver care to keep our patients healthy, out of the hospital, and in their community by providing an interconnected network of services, physicians, and care centers closer to where they live and work.

Update on Mount Sinai Beth Israel: As part of our ongoing transformation downtown, Mount Sinai plans to close the hospital on 16th Street. In July 2024, the New York State Department of Health (DOH) approved our closure plan. We are pleased that the court has recognized the authority of the DOH to oversee the approval of the closure plan for the hospital, and we are grateful for its decision to allow Mount Sinai to initiate the closure process for the 16th Street campus of MSBI.

Due to ongoing litigation, the closure of the Mount Sinai Beth Israel campus at 16th Street is pending, and the hospital will be kept open day to day while we await the decision from the court. During this time, we will continue to provide Emergency Department services at the 16th Street location and continue to ensure the safe transition and well-being of our patients.

Patients may also choose to access medical care at another Mount Sinai location or another health provider.

In recent years, Mount Sinai has significantly expanded access and care throughout Lower Manhattan by creating new facilities or upgrading our existing services. These include:

• Mount Sinai-Behavioral Health Center
• The Martha Stewart Center for Living at Union Square
• Mount Sinai-Urgent Care, Union Square
• Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital
• Center for Thyroid and Parathyroid Diseases at Mount Sinai-Union Square
• The Blavatnik Family Chelsea Medical Center

Note: Our closure plan for the 16th Street campus, which has been approved by the New York State Department of Health, has been the subject of extensive legal proceedings. On February 24, 2025, the New York State Supreme Court upheld the Department of Health’s approval of the closure plan. That decision by the New York State Supreme Court to permit the implementation of the Department of Health-approved closure plan has been appealed. While the appeal is pending, we will continue to provide Emergency Department services at the 16th Street location until closure.
