Mount Sinai Medical Center Miami Beach
Mount Sinai Medical Center began operations in 1949. Today, it is the largest private, non-profit hospital in South Florida. It operates training centers that allow specialists from various fields to exchange experiences and combine scientific theories, research findings, and technical advancements to provide comprehensive medical care to the public.
The Mount Sinai Medical Center comprises six clinics in Miami-Dade County. In total, there are 15 hospital buildings capable of accommodating 955 patients. Services are provided by 700 physicians and 3,500 staff members, with approximately 500 volunteers collaborating with the center. In 2009, the center began a partnership with Columbia University, allowing medical students to conduct research and train, and patients to receive treatment in Miami and New York. As part of this collaboration, the Mount Sinai Heart Institute and the Columbia University Cardiology and Urology branches at Mount Sinai were established.
Mount Sinai Medical Center operates a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for premature infants and those born with medical complications. This unit is fully equipped to care for newborns with complex conditions or in critical condition, and maintains a system of continuous monitoring of patients’ conditions from birth through discharge. The clinic fully meets the high standards set by the U.S. government for medical facilities of this specialization.
When a newborn returns home from Mount Sinai, the center’s care does not end. The NICU has a “Follow-Up Program” that tracks the progress of every premature or sick child for one year after discharge, as these children may have issues that a regular pediatrician might not be familiar with. Comprehensive and long-term monitoring by the neonatal center helps identify and treat these issues as early as possible. This approach to infant health sets Mount Sinai Medical Center apart from other clinics.
