The Mount Sinai – National Jewish Health Respiratory Institute opened its second Manhattan location on Monday, April 16, in Union Square, where specialists now treat asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension, lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, and chronic lung disorders. After entering into a collaborative agreement in 2015, the Mount Sinai Health System and National Jewish Health, a leading respiratory hospital based in Denver, opened its first Institute on The Mount Sinai Hospital campus. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Mount Sinai Union Square, leaders from both health systems noted the Institute’s high patient volume and commitment to personalized care.
