MOUNT SINAI QUEENS

Transforming Health Care in Queens

A new chapter begins in 2016 for Mount Sinai Queens, when this winter we begin opening our doors to our new $150-million 140,000-square-foot building to herald in a new era of health care in Queens.

The NEW Mount Sinai Queens NEW $150-million Building NEW Emergency Department NEW Operating Rooms and Interventional Radiology Suite NEW Outpatient Imaging Center NEW Multi-Specialty Physician Practice

High-Tech, High-Touch Medical Care Our skilled and compassionate physicians will draw on the most current technological innovations to provide the latest treatment and testing methods. Our new comprehensive Imaging Center staffed by experienced radiologists and technologists, will provide diagnostic and treatment services that, together with our new on-site lab, will enable doctors to order tests and get results quickly, minimizing patients’ return visits and wait times.

Six new state-of-the-art operating rooms will allow our talented surgeons to perform same-day and complex surgeries right here in Queens. The new OR suites include holding, recovery, and a large waiting area. We will also open a new interventional radiology suite, which uses minimally invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat illnesses.

Our new State-of-the-Art Emergency Department will be nearly five times the size of the current ED.

Adding the Best and Brightest New Doctors The top floors will be home to the new multi-specialty physician practice, Mount Sinai Doctors, Queens providing comprehensive quality health care all under one roof. Physicians specializing in family and internal medicine, pediatrics, and OBGYN will provide first-class primary care and, as necessary, refer patients to specialists in the same building for maximum patient convenience. The practice will include specialists in cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, ENT, gastroenterology, general surgery, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, nephrology, neurology, pulmonology, thoracic surgery, and vascular surgery. We are proud to be adding these new physicians to our existing roster of experienced, capable physicians.

By building a better hospital, we help build a better community.

The new Mount Sinai Queens is health care at its best.

We will offer convenient one-stop medical care in a sleek, efficient, modern facility, provided by top doctors.

Much more than just a new building with the latest in comforts and amenities, our new facility will allow us to better serve our Queens community.

The new building will be the site of our new Emergency Department, almost five times the size of the current ED. It will feature a combination of private rooms, patient bays, and a separate pediatric emergency area within the ED, all designed to enable our medical team to examine and treat adults and children promptly and thoroughly in a comfortable environment.

Our new state-of-the-art imaging center and operating rooms together with a new interventional radiology suite, will offer the latest in high-tech treatment and

diagnostics. The gleaming glass walls of Mount Sinai Doctors, Queens, the new multi-specialty practice of primary care physicians and specialists, afford stunning views of Queens, Manhattan, and the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge.

While we can’t wait to show off our new facility and our new approach to health and wellness, we’re still proud of the things that make Mount Sinai Queens special, including the only Joint Commission-certified Primary Stroke Center in Queens and a first-rate nursing staff— the only one in Queens—that has been given the prestigious Magnet® designation for nursing excellence.

We will now have medical and surgical capabilities that were previously only available in Manhattan, yet still maintain the comfort and familiarity of a community hospital dedicated to the health of our neighbors.
