New Hospital Updates by Dr. Jeremy Boal

Have you been to 13th Street and 2nd Avenue recently? The view has started to change…

My team and I are spending more time rounding and getting to know you. Many of you have been asking about the new hospital. Right now, we are well into the demolition of the old resident building for New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai. This will be where we build the new MSBI. What you see below is a photo of the building taken last fall at the start of the demolition and one taken within the past month. If you look at the surrounding buildings, you can see how the height of the building has changed, and we are now down to the eighth floor. Because we are in the middle of a thriving urban environment, our demolition team must take down the building brick by brick. The building will be completely down by the end of August.

This is a photo of the demolition in progress looking at the eighth floor.

We have also been meeting regularly to discuss the clinical plans and internal floor plans for the new hospital. There is still a lot to solidify, and we have some very exciting plans to help make us the hospital of the future. Below are renderings of the exterior of the building  and the inside of a patient room, which will allow for telehealth capabilities and other new technology.

I’m so excited to share this all with you. You’ve been incredibly patient and resilient while we work toward our new hospital and expanded Downtown network.

The Heart of MSBI by Dr. Jeremy Boal

I look up to so many of our employees, and in March we honored some of our very best with the Heart Awards. The annual Heart Awards honor employees with five or more years of service who continuously focus on keeping our patients safe, providing the best patient experience, and making MSBI the hospital of choice for patients, doctors, and employees.

I hope you will watch this one-minute video that highlights the many reasons I am thankful to work with these wonderful people.

MSBI Gives Back to the Community

Mount Sinai Doctors at Stuyvesant Town celebrated “Red Nose Day” on Thursday, May 24. Red Nose Day raises money to end child poverty.

On May 17, more than 40 Mount Sinai Beth Israel and Mount Sinai Union Square employees participated in the Wall Street Run & Heart Walk. The “MSBI MSUS Amazing Hearts and Minds” raised over $13,000 for the American Heart Association who conduct research and save lives from the country’s number one and number five killers–heart disease and stroke.
