Mount Sinai Hospital

Mount Sinai Hospital is a 431-bed teaching, research and tertiary-care facility. Mount Sinai is a member of Sinai Health System, along with Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital, Sinai Community Institute, Sinai Medical Group and Sinai Children's Hospital.

Mount Sinai provides state-of-the-art health services to Chicago's West Side Community, as well as to others in the metropolitan area who require sophisticated medical and surgical care.

Mount Sinai's quality medical offerings include a Level I trauma center; a child-abuse diagnosis, treatment and prevention unit; and a high-risk maternity and infant intensive-care program (Level III perinatal center).

To improve the quality and efficiency of the care we provide, Mount Sinai in late 1997 opened a state-of-the-art outpatient care center. 1998 saw the opening of the beautiful Goodman Family Maternal and Child Center and a completely renovated and expanded emergency and trauma facility.

Founded in 1919 as a 60-bed hospital to serve needy Eastern European immigrants and to train Jewish physicians denied educational opportunities elsewhere, Mount Sinai today serves a predominantly African-American and Latino community with vigor and dedication that have grown stronger through the years.

Sinai's mission is carried out at the main hospital campus in Chicago's Lawndale neighborhood, in health centers throughout the city and suburbs, and at sites designated by our many partners - the government and private agencies that share our concern for equitable allocation of health services to every individual, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or economic status. Sinai also is concerned with the economic well-being of area residents. Employees have taken leadership roles in housing-development programs, tenant-organizing initiatives in nearby public housing, and area social-service agencies.

Mount Sinai's traditional relationship with the Jewish community continues in our service to thousands of refugees and other patients referred by the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago. Mount Sinai's Touhy Health Center in West Rogers Park cares for many of these Jewish Federation patients, as well as for families and seniors on the city's North Side and in the nearby suburbs.

In turn, the Federation each year provides Mount Sinai's largest single operating grant.

A major teaching hospital for the Chicago area, Mount Sinai trains more than 300 health professionals each year through programs in undergraduate and graduate medical education, allied health and continuing education for physicians and nurses.

Independently and through its affiliation with Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science/The Chicago Medical School, Sinai Health System provides undergraduate training for medical students in six major specialties: medicine, surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and physical medicine and rehabilitation, as well as a number of subspecialties. The house staff program provides training for residents and fellows in major clinical areas.

Research programs at Mount Sinai are ongoing in several fields, including cancer detection and treatment, child abuse, trauma and emergency medicine, urology, rheumatology, oncology, hematology and neonatology.
