Mount Sinai West
Mount Sinai West, opened in 1871 as Roosevelt Hospital, is affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Health System.
The 514-bed facility is located in the Midtown West neighborhood of New York City. The facility provides numerous clinical specialties including, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthopedics, hand surgery, breast surgery, colorectal surgery, vascular surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, obstetrics and gynecology, emergency department, intensive care and urology.
In 2007, Mount Sinai West received advanced certification in total hip and knee replacement surgery from The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
It is designated a Level 3 Perinatal Center, AIDS Center, Thrombectomy-capable Stroke Center, and designated Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE) Program Hospital. As of 2023, Evan Flatow serves as President.
James Henry Roosevelt bequeathed his fortune to establish "a hospital for the reception and relief of sick and diseased persons," but further funds had to be raised before building and running Roosevelt Hospital. The hospital's first building opened and it began operations on November 2, 1871, seven years after its establishment.
A plaque to its namesake and benefactor reads: "To the memory of James Henry Roosevelt, a true son of New York, the generous founder of this hospital, a man upright in his aims, simple in his life, and sublime in his benefaction."
Buildings were added over time to meet the demands for growth and improved facilities. Additions included the Private-Patient Pavilion (1885), the William J. Syms Operating Theatre (1892), the Accident Building and Ward for Sick Children (1899), a Nurses' Residence (1911), a taller Ward building (1923), the James I. Russell Memorial Surgical Building (1949), the Tower Memorial Building (1953), the School of Nursing (1953), the Garrard Winston Memorial Building (1964), The Arthur J. Antenucci Institute of Medical Research (1986) and a new main hospital facility facing Tenth Avenue – a 13-story Skidmore, Owings & Merrill-the designed facility started construction in 1990 and opened in 1992.
Much of the original hospital, including the emergency room, was torn down to make way for two 49-story residential buildings at One Columbus Place. The emergency room was located in the James Russell Memorial Surgical Building on the corner of 9th Ave and W. 58th Street, and underwent a refurbishment in 1981. It was notable for being the location where John Lennon was pronounced dead upon arrival after being shot outside his apartment building in 1980, and later utilized for hospital emergency room exterior shots in the television sitcom Seinfeld. The Surgical and Tower Memorial Buildings were demolished and replaced by the One Columbus Place development in 1999.
