Mount Sinai Hospital (Manhattan)

The Mount Sinai Hospital, founded in 1852, is one of the oldest and largest teaching hospitals in the United States. With the advent of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in the 1960s, the overall entity became known as The Mount Sinai Medical Center. As of the 2010s, it became the flagship hospital of the greater Mount Sinai Health System.

The Mount Sinai Hospital is a tertiary and quaternary care facility 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. The maternity program is among the busiest in New York State with just over 7,000 deliveries per year.

Mount Sinai is known for the large number of medical breakthroughs it has pioneered and has long been considered one of the preeminent medical institutions in the country. 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.

Naming

thumb|left|Data processing department report from 1979, showing 'The Mount Sinai Hospital' usage in the page headings, in order to distinguish it from any other Mount Sinai hospitals

There are, or have been, a number of different and unrelated healthcare institutions in North America called "Mount Sinai Hospital" – all named after the Mount Sinai of the Hebrew Bible – including one in Cleveland (opened 1903), one in Milwaukee (opened 1903), one in Philadelphia (opened 1905), one in Montréal (opened 1909), one in Chicago (opened 1912, changed to name 1919), one in Norfolk (opened 1921), one in Hartford (opened 1923), one in Toronto (opened 1923, changed to name 1924), one in Los Angeles (opened 1923, changed to exact name in 1926), one in Miami Beach (opened 1946), and one in Detroit (opened in 1953). But the one in New York was first.

Accordingly, the hospital and its associated entities have long considered usage around the name "Mount Sinai" to be important.

Part of this is that in Mount Sinai publications and use, the flagship hospital's name is always preceded by a capitalized 'The', thus 'The Mount Sinai Hospital', even in running text, while the other hospitals in the health system, such as Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West, get no 'the' or 'The' at all.

History

19th century

Creation of The Jews' Hospital

At the time of the founding of the hospital in 1852, other hospitals in New York City discriminated against Jewish people by not hiring Jewish doctors or nurses and by prohibiting Jewish patients from being treated in the hospitals' wards.

Jewish doctors themselves faced restrictive quotas or outright refusal when it came to medical education and training in specialties.

Originally called The Jews' Hospital in the City of New York, it was the second Jewish hospital in the United States, after the Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, which was established in 1847. It was built on West 28th Street in Manhattan, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, on rural land donated by Simson, with the cornerstone being laid on November 25, 1852. The cost of the new structure was $30,000 ().

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; 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.

The New York Draft Riots of 1863 also impacted the hospital's resources, as it admitted many of the wounded. This again helped in community relations, as by accepting everyone as patients it helped undermine the stereotype that Jews only cared about taking care of their own people.

The cornerstone ceremony at the new location took place on May 25, 1870, with some 1,500 people in attendance and speeches delivered by Mayor A. Oakey Hall and Judge Albert Cardozo.

The dedication for the opening of the buildings took place on May 29, 1872, with an address given by Governor John T. Hoffman.

The cost of the new facility was $340,000 (). and a champion of the move to the hospital's new site on Manhattan's Upper East Side at the beginning of the century. The motivation for changing locations was to obtain more space to accommodate the greater number of people seeking hospital services;

Building at the new location began in 1901. and several thousand people were in attendance. Speeches were given by dignitaries such as Randolph Guggenheimer and Seth Low. A common theme was that while the history of the hospital reflected the ideals of Judaism, it would continue benefit all people of any religion or race. The new facility was said to be the largest hospital in the United States in size and the third largest in terms of patient capacity. The total cost of the new location was upwards of $3 million (equivalent to $ million in ), most of which came from Jewish benefactors.

Staff at Mount Sinai saw that social problems were often linked to medical ones,

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.

World War I

thumb|The hospital pictured in a 1920 postcard

The hospital soon envisioned a building program along the south side of 100th Street in order to expand further, 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.

Totaling seven new structures, the last three of the 1913 building program were not completed until 1922, construction having been delayed not just by the war but also by the era's accompanying high prices.

A focus on research

thumb|left|upright=0.6|Photomicrographs from 1905 work at Mount Sinai about a new method for staining capsules of bacteria

From the early years of the 20th century on, doing medical research became an active priority at Mount Sinai. The demographics of the East Harlem neighborhood around two sides of Mount Sinai started changing in the 1920s, with a large influx of Puerto Ricans coming in; the hospital provided ward medical service to them. Not only were Jewish quotas in effect for medical schools, but hiring into internship and residency programs was even more difficult, as was getting admitting privileges at hospitals.

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.

Postwar

The year 1952 saw the opening of three buildings along the 99th Street portion of the campus: the Klingenstein Pavilion, which housed the maternity pavilion, the Berg Laboratory, and the Atran Laboratory. Taking up the full block between 99th and 100th Streets, it became the most prominent Mount Sinai building along the Madison Avenue side.

Creation of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine

After World War II, the levels of antisemitism in the medical profession gradually declined,

The solution to both these trends was seen to be the creation of an affiliated medical school, even though that being done by a hospital rather a university was quite unusual. Located at 10 East 102nd Street, Mount Sinai paid $7 million (equivalent to $ million in ) for the facility, which would subsequently become known as the Cummings Basic Sciences Building. More than half of the new building was occupied by the medical school, with the balance allocated to various forms of advanced medical analysis and treatment. The building cost $117 million (equivalent to $ million in ); following substantial contributions by the businessman and diplomat Walter Annenberg and his siblings, it was named for their mother, with some funds also coming from other private donations as well as from federal and state sources. Indeed, it was said to be the first hospital in the world to do so, and the first of any type of organization within New York City. It was used for storing, retrieving, and processing administrative data as well as for scientific applications. A promotional photograph showed two men in suits over a computer terminal while three nurses in the white uniforms and caps of the time looked on.

Once the Mount Sinai School of Medicine was in existence, it tended to have its own computer systems. The Laboratory of Computer Science was in existence within the school,

It used DEC PDP-11 minicomputers. The mid-to-late 1970s saw the first online applications appear at Mount Sinai, running at IBM 3270 terminals under control of CICS: these included admissions-discharges-transfers, outpatient visit recording, and some medical records, but in this era most applications were still run via batch processing from manually submitted forms, so for instance while the pharmacy profile system was online, the drugs and stores inventory was batch. Indeed, the Mount Sinai data processing department was profiled in Computerworld newspaper in 1980 as having been an early adopter, and still heavy user, of computer output microfiche, including via the Kodak Komstar, with some 188,000 frames of reports being produced per month for applications such as patient history, inpatient census, inpatient billing, outpatient records, personnel, and payroll.

The hospital had opened a medical library in 1883, The field of medical librarianship became established in the 1940s, led by courses at the Columbia University School of Library Service, With the creation of the medical school and the opening of the Annenberg Building, the Gustave L. and Janet W. Levy Library was created in 1974. In the late 2000s the building underwent a substantial renovation, becoming the  Center for Advanced Medicine. Opening in 2008 with the expanded address of 5–17 East 102nd Street, it houses various Mount Sinai medical functions including outpatient services.

During the 1980 New York City transit strike, Mount Sinai avoided any interruption to its patient care by arranging various ways for employees to get to or stay at the facility, including expanded bicycle racks, overnight cots, and a dozen specially chartered bus routes from sites in the different boroughs to the hospital.

By the early 1980s, Mount Sinai's hospital contained 1,200 beds and its medical school graduated 100 doctors a year and its budget was almost $300 million. Overall, the Mount Sinai campus was an "architectural hodgepodge", in the words of the New York Times: there were 21 buildings in all, including some ornamented red-brick buildings, white-brick structures, service buildings, and various other structures. Many kinds of traffic went through these corridors: patients being transported, food carts being wheeled, staff going to meetings, visitors, security guards, all mixed together. and began a public fundraising drive to raise the monies necessary to make it possible. The decade of the 1980s also saw large-scale changes in how hospital funding was done due the adoption by the U.S. government of diagnosis-related groups (DRG) in connection with Medicare reimbursements as a result of a 1982 change in federal law and regulation; as a result, Mount Sinai began to focus more on marketing and the management of patient throughput. The new facility, which was architecturally coordinated by the firms Pei Cobb Freed & Partners in conjunction with Ellerbe Associates, while an assessment in Architecture: The AIA Journal called it "an urban project that performs well both within Mount Sinai's sprawling complex and within Manhattan's Upper East Side."

On the other side of Madison Avenue between 98th and 99th Streets was parking space run the by medical center; which opened in the late 1990s.

By the end of the 20th century, Mount Sinai was seeing some 50,000 inpatient admissions and discharges per year, about 400,000 inpatient-days in total, along with around 300,000 outpatient visits a year.

21st century

Failed merger, financial crisis and recovery

In 1998, Mount Sinai had entered into a merger agreement with New York University Medical Center. Nevertheless, the turnaround was successful and Mount Sinai survived the financial strain,

Following a $200 million (equivalent to $ million in donation from the financier Carl Icahn, the Mount Sinai School of Medicine was renamed to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2012. It opened in the mid-1990s, was refurbished in the early 2010s, and brings the hospital several million dollars a year in revenue.

thumb|right|upright=0.67|10 East 102nd Street: lower floors medical facilities, upper floors private residences

Two additional large buildings appeared during the early 2010s, as part of another major expansion. The medical facilities part of the building has the address 10 E. 102nd Street. Nonetheless, making use of the New York State Housing Finance Agency's 80/20 housing and 421-a tax exemption provisions, twenty percent of the residential units were set aside for low-income residents.

Advent of the Mount Sinai Health System

Later during the 2010s, there was a wave of consolidations within the health care industry, and Mount Sinai grew into the larger Mount Sinai Health System which featured seven hospitals overall and a network of outpatient facilities.

As with other hospitals in the city, the nurses and other medical staff of Mount Sinai were soon celebrated as heroes during the dark initial period of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.

In August 2024, Moody's Investor Service downgraded Mount Sinai Hospital and Icahn School of Medicine to its lowest investment grade, Baa3. Moody's cited $1.8 billion in debt by the end of 2023, initial delays in closing the merged but struggling Mount Sinai Beth Israel, and cash flow damages due to a cyber-attack in February 2024 at Mount Sinai’s payment system, Change Healthcare.

In early 2026, there was a strike by nurses of the New York State Nurses Association against both the main campus of The Mount Sinai Hospital as well as two other hospitals within the Mount Sinai Health System.

Controversies

Dr. Jack M. Gorman, formerly Department Chairman of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai, engaged in a long-term inappropriate sexual relationship with a patient prior to October 2005.
In August 2016, Dennis S. Charney, then dean of the medical school, was shot and wounded as he left a deli in his home town of Chappaqua, New York. Hengjun Chao, a former Mount Sinai medical researcher who had been fired by Charney for research misconduct in 2010, was convicted of attempted second degree murder and two other charges in 2017, and received a sentence of 28 years.
In 2017, Dr. David H. Newman, a former emergency room physician at Mount Sinai Hospital, was sentenced to two years in prison for sexually abusing four female patients in the emergency room between 2015 and 2016, including touching their breasts.
Three doctors were convicted of violating anti-kickback laws by accepting bribes disguised as speaker fees to write prescriptions to a highly addictive fentanyl opioid painkiller. Gordon Freedman, an anesthesiologist at Mount Sinai, was convicted in December 2019 in Manhattan federal court. Alexandru Burducea, a pain management doctor and anesthesiologist who previously worked at Mount Sinai, was sentenced in January 2020 to 57 months in prison.
In April 2019, a lawsuit was filed against Mount Sinai Health System and several employees of the hospital and the Icahn School's Arnhold Institute for Global Health. The suit was filed by eight current and former doctors and employees for alleged age and sex discrimination and based on a list of other allegations. The school denied the claims. The building would become known both as Guggenheim Hall and by its street address, 5 East 98th Street. As was the practice on the campus, the building was connected to the others by an underground corridor. The final graduation ceremony was held in Assembly Hall at Hunter College. An active alumnae association continues to exist.

There were attempts to continue the school under the aegis of the City College of New York. From the same era and next to it is 19 East 98th Street, among whose roles has been to house the personnel department. The northern side of 98th Street has remained the lower bound of the campus. the larger Mount Sinai entity came into acquisition of the Beth Israel School of Nursing. From that point, the nursing school of the Mount Sinai Health System has been called the Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing (PSON). In the early 2020s, the school moved to a new location on 126th Street in East Harlem, somewhat closer to the flagship hospital and medical school.
