Mount Sinai Hospital (Manhattan)
Template:Use American English Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox hospital
Mount Sinai Hospital, founded in 1852, is one of the oldest and largest teaching hospitals in the United States.<ref name=About/> It is located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, on the eastern border of Central Park, stretching along Madison and Fifth Avenues, between East 98th Street and East 103rd Street.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The Mount Sinai Hospital is a tertiary and quaternary care facility<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and as such offers care in all medical and surgical specialties and subspecialties. The hospital is an AIDS center, Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE) Program Hospital, Comprehensive Stroke Center, and Regional Perinatal Center.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The maternity program is among the busiest in New York State with just over 7,000 deliveries per year.
In February 2025, the hospital was ranked 19th among over 2,400 hospitals in the world and the best hospital in New York state by Newsweek.<ref name=nw23>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Adjacent to the hospital is the Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital which provides comprehensive pediatric specialties and subspecialties to infants, children, teens, and young adults aged 0–21 throughout the region.<ref name=":02">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="mountsinai.org">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
History
Early years
At the time of the founding of the hospital in 1852, other hospitals in New York City discriminated against Jewish people by either not hiring doctors or nurses to treat patients and by prohibiting them from being treated in the hospitals' wards.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Orthodox Jewish philanthropist Sampson Simson (1780–1857) founded the hospital to address the needs of New York City's rapidly growing Jewish immigrant community. It was the second Jewish hospital in the United States, after the Jewish Hospital, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, which was established in 1847.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Template:Em, as it was called until adopting its current name in 1866,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> was built on West 28th Street in Manhattan, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, on land donated by Simson. It opened two years before Simson's death. Four years later, it was unexpectedly filled to capacity with soldiers injured in the American Civil War.<ref name=NobleDeeds>This House of Noble Deeds, Mount Sinai Hospital, 1852 – 2002 Template:Webarchive, Arthur H. Aufses, Jr. and Barbara J. Niss, New York University Press.</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The Jews' Hospital felt the effects of the escalating Civil War in other ways, as staff doctors and board members were called into service. Dr. Israel Moses served four years as lieutenant colonel in the 72nd New York Infantry Regiment;<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Joseph Seligman had to resign as a member of the board of directors, as he was increasingly called upon by President Lincoln for advice on the country's growing financial crisis.<ref>The Civil War Dictionary Template:Webarchive</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The New York Draft Riots of 1863 also strained the hospital's resources, as it struggled to tend to the many wounded.
More and more, the Jews' Hospital was finding itself an integral part of the general community. In 1866, to reflect this new-found role, it changed its name to Mount Sinai Hospital. In 1872, the hospital moved uptown to the east side of Lexington Avenue between East 66th and 67th streets.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
20th century
Now called Mount Sinai Hospital, the institution forged relationships with many physicians who made contributions to medicine, including Henry N. Heineman, Frederick S. Mandelbaum, Bernard Sachs, Charles A. Elsberg, Emanuel Libman, and, most significantly, Abraham Jacobi, known as the father of American pediatrics and a champion of construction at the hospital's new site on Manhattan's Upper East Side in 1904.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The hospital established a school of nursing in 1881. Created by Alma deLeon Hendricks and a small group of women, Mount Sinai Hospital Training School for Nurses was taken over by the hospital in 1895. In 1923, its name was changed to Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing. This school closed in 1971 after graduating 4,700 women and one man in the last class. An active alumnae association continues to exist. Since 2013, the nursing school of the Mount Sinai Health System has been called Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing (PSON).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The early 20th century saw the population of New York City explode. That, coupled with many new discoveries at Mount Sinai (including significant advances in blood transfusions and the first endotracheal anesthesia apparatus), meant that Mount Sinai's pool of doctors and specialists was in increasing demand. A $1.35 million ($Template:Inflation in current dollar terms) expansion of the 1904 hospital site raced to keep pace with demand. The opening of the new buildings was delayed by the advent of World War I. Mount Sinai responded to a request from the United States Army Medical Corps with the creation of Base Hospital No.3. This unit went to France in early 1918, and treated 9,127 patients with 172 deaths: 54 surgical and 118 medical, the latter due mainly to influenza and pneumonia.
World War II
Two decades later, with tensions in Europe escalating, a committee dedicated to finding placements for doctors fleeing Nazi Germany was founded in 1933. With the help of the National Committee for the Resettlement of Foreign Physicians, Mount Sinai Hospital became a new home for a large number of émigrés. When World War II broke out, Mount Sinai was the first hospital to throw open its doors to Red Cross nurses' aides; the hospital trained many in its effort to reduce the nursing shortage in the United States. Meanwhile, the president of the medical board, George Baehr, M.D., was called by President Roosevelt to serve as the nation's chief medical director of the Office of Civilian Defense.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
These wartime roles were eclipsed, however, when the men and women of Mount Sinai's 3rd General Hospital set sail for Casablanca, Morocco, eventually setting up a 1,000-bed hospital in war-torn Tunisia. Before moving to tend to the needs of soldiers in Italy and France, the 3rd General Hospital had treated more than 5,000 wounded soldiers.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Postwar
In 1963, the hospital created a medical school, and in 1968, it welcomed the first students of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, now the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The 1980s had a $500 million hospital expansion, including the construction of the Guggenheim Pavilion, the first medical facility designed by I.M. Pei. Its faculty has made significant contributions to gene therapy, cardiology, immunotherapy, organ transplants, cancer treatments, and minimally invasive surgery.
Among the innovations at Mount Sinai were performing the first blood transplant into the vein of a fetus in 1986, and the development of a technique for inserting radioactive seeds into the prostate to treat cancer in 1995.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
