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, and with the approval of the New York State Department of Health, Mount Sinai has closed the hospital on 16th Street, effective at 8 am on Wednesday, April 9, 2025. Patients may choose to access medical care at another Mount Sinai location or another health provider.

To serve our community, we opened a new Urgent Care facility on East 14th Street at Second Avenue. Mount Sinai-Urgent Care, East 14th Street, is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and staffed by board certified doctors who can treat most of your minor injuries and illnesses, such as allergies, asthma attacks, cuts that need stitches, earaches, eye infections, flu, sprains, and rashes. The Urgent Care facility opened on Tuesday, April 8. Visit mountsinai.org/
EmergencyVsUrgent to help you determine when you should visit Urgent Care or go to a hospital emergency room. This will be complemented by our Virtual Urgent Care Program.

We hope you will consider visiting one of the many other Mount Sinai care facilities. 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, East 14th Street
• 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
