Health care giant Mount Sinai purchased another giant, Beth Israel a few years ago, and shortly announced it would be closing the main hospital building on 14th street to upgrade the facility.
Now we know what that new building will look like, courtesy of developers Perkins Eastman.
Mount Sinai Downtown will be anchored by a new (Beth Israel) inpatient hospital with operating and procedure rooms, and a brand-new state-of-the-art Emergency Department, located two blocks from the current MSBI. The transformation will also include a major investment to support and strengthen behavioral health services, anchored at MSBI’s Bernstein Pavilion. Additionally, the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai will be preserved and enhanced. MSBI hospital will remain open throughout this transformation, and its emergency room will remain open until the new ED is fully operational at the new hospital. “Our more than $500 million investment marks an exciting time, not only for Mount Sinai’s employees and patients, but also the entire Downtown community, as we truly transform how patients access and receive the health care services they need,” said Kenneth L. Davis, MD, CEO and President of the Mount Sinai Health System.
