One of the first steps in the transformation will be upgrading Mount Sinai Downtown Union Square (formerly the Phillips Ambulatory Care Center) into a more specialized care facility, with expanded and enhanced ambulatory procedural capabilities and a new urgent care center. As you no doubt have notice, construction is currently underway to accommodate some of these expanded capabilities, including the facility’s brand-new lobby which will be completed in the coming weeks.
The lobby renovation will not only enhance patient access and provide new ways to access the upper level, but will also include concierge services to help patients find their way.
Additional renovations—such as creating state-of-the-art procedure rooms and upgrading technology for exceptional fully integrated electronic health records systems—will allow Mount Sinai to provide a number of new, specialized services at Union Square, including endoscopy, disease management programs, and a Respiratory Institute.
Finally, in mid-2017, Union Square’s second floor will be home to a new, comprehensive urgent care center, including pediatric care, with weekend and evening hours. This expanded access will provide community members the care they need at more convenient times, close to home and next to one of the City’s largest and most accessible public transportation hubs.
