Mount Sinai Medical Center has been a proud member of the Miami Beach community for over 65 years, providing residents and visitors alike with continued access to high quality, patient-centered care. That commitment continues today with plans to build for the future as Miami Beach’s only hospital. The medical center will soon begin construction on a campus expansion project that will have an impact on the healthcare of its community and timely emergency services for years to come.Mount Sinai will build a new patient care tower with 154 private rooms – each with bay views -, 12 new state-of-the-art operating rooms, as well as a new 40,000-square-foot Emergency Department with over 50 private treatment rooms. The new emergency department will also house the City of Miami Beach’s Emergency Management Department.
In addition, the medical center will erect a new 750 space employee parking garage. Construction of the new garage will begin in June, 2015. The medical center will begin construction of the patient care tower and Emergency Department in the spring of 2016, and the overall project will be complete in 2018. Over 300 staff and physicians have offered their collaborative feedback in planning for the future of Mount Sinai Medical Center.
Renderings by the project’s architect, Cannon Design, provide a view of the new construction in all its splendor – from the surgical tower’s grand entrance and light-filled atrium, to its elegantly designed private patient rooms and state-of-the-art operating rooms. They also highlight the patient-friendly, healing environment of the new emergency department.
“This is a historic time for the future of healthcare in Miami Beach for our residential and tourist communities as we embark upon the rebuilding of facilities that are now more than 50 years old. Our emergency department was built in 1972 when there were four hospitals in Miami Beach and this was a much different community,” said Mount Sinai President and CEO, Steve Sonenreich. “Residents, tourists and businesses depend and rely day in and day out on Mount Sinai Medical Center. We are part of the public safety net of this community.”
