"A person's health is the greatest wealth; take care of it, and it will take care of your future"

This is how you can begin your acquaintance with Mount Sinai Medical Center — a hospital that not only treats but creates conditions for every patient to feel that their health is the center of attention.

Mount Sinai Medical Center is a name that has long been synonymous in Florida with professionalism, advanced technologies, and genuine care for people. Founded more than seventy years ago, today it is one of the leading medical centers not only in Miami but also in the entire southeastern United States.

It attracts those who value confidence in results, attention to detail, and an individual approach. At Mount Sinai, the patient always comes first — their comfort, safety, and quality of care. Here, they do more than perform surgeries and make diagnoses — they create an atmosphere where you can truly restore your health and feel that you are in reliable hands.

Mount Sinai Medical Center combines the best of both worlds: a modern technological base and the warm, human approach of the staff. Thanks to ongoing research, educational programs, and investments in infrastructure, the hospital remains one of the most respected medical institutions in the region.

History and Mission of Mount Sinai Medical Center

Mount Sinai Medical Center did not emerge as just another hospital, but as a symbol of unity and the belief that healthcare should be accessible to everyone. In the late 1940s, when Florida was experiencing rapid growth, a group of doctors and philanthropists from Miami Beach decided to change the rules. At that time, many medical institutions in the U.S. had restrictions based on religion or social status — but the future founders of Mount Sinai believed that health knows no distinctions.

Thus, in 1949, a project was born to become the first independent hospital open to all in the region. They named it "Mount Sinai" — after the mountain where, according to biblical tradition, the commandments were given. This symbolized the purity of intention and a mission to serve people with respect, without prejudice, regardless of their background, wealth, or faith.

• The first Mount Sinai building was relatively modest — about one hundred beds, a few departments, and a staff that brought together doctors of different nationalities and cultures. Yet from the very beginning, the hospital stood out for the quality of care and attention to patients.
• With each decade, Mount Sinai grew, introduced new technologies, and opened more specialized departments. In the 1960s–1970s, the first cardiology labs and surgical units for complex heart operations were established. In the 1980s, the hospital began developing oncology and neurology programs, laying the foundation for future centers of excellence.
• By the 2000s, Mount Sinai Medical Center had become the largest independent non-profit hospital in South Florida, while preserving its original philosophy — "medicine with a heart".
• Today, it is more than just a hospital — it is a full-fledged medical city with over 600 beds, dozens of operating rooms, modern research laboratories, and a staff of several thousand specialists. Importantly, Mount Sinai remains a teaching hospital, training the next generation of doctors in both technique and ethics, emphasizing human-centered care.

Mount Sinai Medical Center has always adhered to a simple but powerful principle: "Every patient deserves not just treatment, but care, respect, and attention."

This philosophy underpins the hospital's mission — to provide high-quality medical care to a diverse community, combining clinical excellence, education, and research. The key principles guiding the hospital are:

• Quality and safety — with no compromises;
• Education and innovation — the hospital trains its own specialists and participates in research that shapes the future of medicine worldwide;
• Charity and accessibility — Mount Sinai remains a non-profit institution, annually allocating millions of dollars to treat people without insurance;
• Accountability and trust — transparency and patient-focused processes have made the hospital one of the most respected medical institutions in the region.

More than 75 years have passed since its founding, yet the spirit of those who built the first clinic on the shores of Miami Beach lives on today. Mount Sinai continues to grow, expand its branches, implement cutting-edge medical technologies, open research centers, and strengthen educational programs.

At the same time, it remains true to its mission — helping people regardless of their status or means, while maintaining humanity and care in every action. It is this combination of tradition and innovation that makes Mount Sinai Medical Center not just a hospital, but a special place where people regain their health and hope.

Services of Mount Sinai Medical Center: When Medicine Becomes the Art of Care

Mount Sinai is not just a place for treatment. It is a complete health ecosystem, where each department functions as part of a unified organism, with a single goal — to restore a person’s quality of life. Patients with all kinds of needs are welcomed here — from preventive check-ups to the most complex surgeries requiring precise teamwork by dozens of specialists.

The hospital operates dozens of clinical specialties, many of which are recognized as the best in the region and included in U.S. federal rankings for treatment effectiveness and safety.

1. 01. Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery: The Heart of Medicine

Mount Sinai actively implements the patient pathway concept — where a patient’s journey from initial consultation to full recovery is structured logically, transparently, and without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Each patient is assigned a coordinator who accompanies them through every stage: consultations, tests, surgeries, and rehabilitation.

This attention to detail transforms a visit to the medical center from a stressful experience into a confident step toward recovery.

Facilities and Infrastructure: The Hospital of the Future, Today

In short, Mount Sinai Medical Center is a city within a city.
On the Miami Beach map, it is one of the most prominent buildings — not because of height or grandeur, but because every meter inside is designed for a single purpose: to treat people as effectively and comfortably as possible.

Many U.S. hospitals call themselves modern, but Mount Sinai truly deserves the term — here, technology, design, sustainability, and patient care go hand in hand.

1. 01. Architecture and Spatial Logic: Comfort, Not a Maze
   The main campus is located at 4300 Alton Road, Miami Beach — a building that unites historic wings built in the mid-20th century with entirely new structures added in recent years.
   The most modern and technologically advanced addition is the Skolnick Surgical Tower and Hildebrandt Emergency Center, opened after a major renovation in 2019.
   The project cost around $275 million, which represents tens of thousands of square meters of new operating rooms, patient rooms, laboratories, and engineering systems, allowing the hospital to function as an autonomous organism. Architectural and layout features include:

• Simple logistics — buildings are connected by covered walkways, and all main services are accessible without long walks;
• Natural lighting, panoramic windows, soft colors — so patients feel like they are in a hotel with a medical focus rather than a hospital;
• Soundproofing and climate control systems — small but important details that reduce stress and speed recovery.

1. 02. Skolnick Surgical Tower
   Skolnick Tower is the heart of the hospital. It is not just a building with operating rooms — it is a high-tech center where everything is designed for precision and safety. Inside, it houses:

• 12 fully digital operating rooms integrated with imaging and surgical navigation systems;
• Hybrid operating rooms, allowing procedures under MRI and angiography guidance during surgery;
• Separate sterile pathways for staff and patients to prevent cross-traffic;
• Autonomous ventilation and backup power supply in case of outages (important in a hurricane-prone region).

1. 03. Hildebrandt Emergency Center: Speed and Precision
   In any hospital, the emergency department is the first line of care. At Mount Sinai, this front line functions as a modern life management center. The Hildebrandt Emergency Center includes:

• Over 50 individual rooms with modern monitors and telemedicine connectivity;
• Specialized areas: cardiology, pediatrics, trauma, infectious diseases;
• A triage system with digital patient load tracking;
• Diagnostic equipment directly in the department — CT, ultrasound, labs — enabling diagnoses within minutes.
  Every year, tens of thousands of patients visit this center, and Mount Sinai is known for having one of the shortest waiting times in the region — an important indicator of operational quality.

1. 04. Equipment and Technology
   Mount Sinai invests millions of dollars in medical technology. Everything here — from scalpels to scanners — is state-of-the-art. Top technologies include:

• 3 Tesla MRI machines — providing ultra-precise images for neurological and vascular diagnostics;
• Low-dose CT scanners, reducing radiation exposure for patients;
• Robotic da Vinci Xi systems used in urology, gynecology, and abdominal surgeries;
• Angiography labs for minimally invasive cardiac procedures;
• Genetic sequencing and personalized oncology laboratories;
• Advanced ventilators, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and neuromonitoring equipment.
  Mount Sinai was among the first in South Florida to implement an AI-based MRI brain analysis system, enabling early stroke and tumor detection with over 95% accuracy.

1. 05. Patient Rooms and Comfort
   Mount Sinai does not resemble a stereotypical hospital. There are no long echoing corridors or dreary walls. Rooms are spacious, bright, and mostly private. Each features a panoramic window overlooking Biscayne Bay, a TV, family area, Wi-Fi, and adjustable lighting.
   All spaces are adapted for mobility-impaired patients.
   The maternity and neonatal units offer family apartments where mother and newborn can stay together.
2. 06. Safety and Resilience
   Located on the Miami Beach coast, the hospital takes climate challenges seriously.
   After hurricanes in the early 2000s, Mount Sinai underwent a complete reconstruction of power and flood protection systems:

• Backup diesel generators and a dedicated substation;
• Sealed underground levels capable of withstanding storm surges;
• Windows rated for winds over 250 km/h;
• Autonomous reserves of water and medications for several days.
  These measures make Mount Sinai one of the most secure hospitals in the region. Even during Hurricane Irma (2017), the hospital continued operating without interruption.

1. 07. Network of Branches and Diagnostic Centers
   The main Miami Beach campus is just the center of a large system. Today, Mount Sinai has over 14 branches across South Florida, including:

• Aventura, Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, Sunny Isles Beach, Hialeah, and others;
• Diagnostic centers and outpatient clinics;
• Primary and specialized care centers;
• Urgent care units and laboratories.
  This structure makes the hospital accessible to residents throughout the region: patients can get diagnostics close to home and then receive treatment or surgery at the main campus.

1. 08. Digital Medicine and the “Smart Hospital”
   Mount Sinai actively implements e-Health technologies:

• Electronic medical records system MyChart, where patients can track tests, prescriptions, appointments, and results;
• Telemedicine consultations — especially useful for chronic conditions and rehabilitation;
• Integration with wearable devices and smart sensors.
  Patients can consult a doctor remotely — the system connects to their medical history and the treating physician’s recommendations.

The technology is impressive, but the most important thing at Mount Sinai is the people. Special attention is given to the atmosphere: doctors and nurses communicate with patients in a simple, human way, explaining every step of the treatment.

Many staff members have worked here for decades. This creates a sense of stability and tradition — a rare feature in modern medicine.
Mount Sinai is a place where science and compassion come together, and it is precisely this combination that makes the results long-lasting.
