Your Health, Our Mission — Right Here in New York City
For generations, Mount Sinai Morningside has been more than just a hospital—we’ve been a trusted neighbor to Upper West Side families and a beacon of hope for patients traveling from around the world. Located at Amsterdam Avenue and 112th Street, our campus brings together the warmth of community medicine with the brilliance of academic research. Whether you’re here for a routine checkup or a complex procedure, you’ll find a team that truly listens and cares.
What Guides Us Every Day
Our vision is simple: heal with heart, lead with integrity, and never stop finding better ways to care for you.
Our mission drives us to break down barriers—because everyone deserves access to exceptional medicine, regardless of their background or circumstance.
Our values aren’t just words on a wall. They show up in how we treat you:
- Integrity means honest conversations about your health
- Empathy means understanding your fears and hopes
- Excellence means outcomes we’re proud to stand behind
- Collaboration means your whole care team talks to each other
- Innovation means bringing you treatments that didn’t exist five years ago
Built for Healing: Our Facilities
Walk through our doors and you’ll immediately sense the difference. Our recently renovated spaces feel less like a traditional hospital and more like a place designed with your comfort in mind.
But don’t let the calming atmosphere fool you—behind the scenes, we’re equipped for anything:
- Advanced ICUs for medical, surgical, and cardiac critical care, staffed around the clock by specialists who do this work because they love it
- Modular operating rooms where surgeons perform everything from routine procedures to complex, life-changing operations
- Full-service diagnostic imaging with the latest MRI, CT scan, and digital X-ray technology—all interpreted by radiologists with sub-specialty training
- 24/7 emergency department where board-certified emergency physicians are ready when minutes matter most
- On-site pharmacy with extended hours, so you never chase down a prescription after discharge
- Ambulance services staffed by paramedics who know our city’s streets and our hospital’s protocols
Every corner of our facility meets rigorous hygiene standards, because your safety is the foundation of everything we do.
Complete Care, All Under One Roof
What makes a multispecialty hospital truly great? It’s the ability to walk from your cardiologist’s office to your neurologist’s clinic without ever leaving the building—and knowing both doctors have already discussed your case.
Our Core Departments
General Medicine
From managing diabetes to treating pneumonia, our internal medicine physicians handle the full spectrum of adult health concerns. They’re often the first to spot something that needs a specialist’s attention, and they coordinate your care across every department.
Cardiology & Cardiothoracic Surgery
This is where Mount Sinai Morningside truly shines. Our heart team handles everything from preventive cardiology—helping you avoid heart disease before it starts—to complex bypass surgery and minimally invasive valve replacements. When a Manhattan judge needed emergency angioplasty last year, he came to us. When a retired teacher from Brooklyn needed her second opinion on a complex arrhythmia, she chose us too.
Neurology & Neurosurgery
The brain and spine require special handling, and our neuroscience team brings decades of combined experience to every case. Whether it’s stroke care, brain tumor surgery, or treatment for chronic migraines, you’re in skilled hands. We’re one of the few centers in the city where neurologists and neurosurgeons work side by side, planning your treatment together.
Orthopedics & Joint Replacement
That nagging hip pain keeping you from walking in Central Park? The knee arthritis making stairs impossible? Our orthopedic team has helped thousands of New Yorkers get back on their feet—literally. From sports injuries to total joint replacement, we focus on getting you moving again, with less pain and faster recovery.
Women’s Health Services
From adolescence through menopause and beyond, our gynecologists provide compassionate, non-judgmental care. Our obstetrics team delivers hundreds of babies each year in a warm, family-centered environment. And for the tiniest patients, our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) stands ready with specialized teams and advanced technology.
Pediatrics & Neonatology
Children aren’t just small adults—they need doctors who understand their unique bodies and fears. Our pediatricians take time to put kids at ease while delivering the same high standard of care we offer adults. When specialized newborn care is needed, our neonatologists step in with expertise that gives premature and critically ill infants their best start.
Oncology (Cancer Care)
A cancer diagnosis changes everything. Our multidisciplinary approach means you don’t have to navigate it alone. Medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and surgical specialists meet regularly to discuss each patient’s case. They’re joined by nutritionists, social workers, and palliative care experts who understand that healing involves the whole person.
Additional Specialties
We also offer expert care in:
- Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT)
- Ophthalmology
- Dentistry and Oral Surgery
- Dermatology
- Gastroenterology
- Emergency and Critical Care
What ties it all together? Our specialists actually talk to each other. When your orthopedist spots something that might need a neurologist’s input, a conversation happens—often the same day.
The People Who Make It Happen
You’ll remember the names of the nurses who held your hand. You’ll remember the surgeon who called your family after a long procedure. You’ll remember the front-desk staff who smiled even when the waiting room was full.
Our physicians trained at some of the finest institutions in the world—Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, and yes, Mount Sinai itself. But what sets them apart isn’t just their credentials. It’s the way they sit down to talk with you, answer your questions honestly, and never make you feel rushed.
Our nurses? They’re the heartbeat of this hospital. Trained in compassionate, evidence-based care, they’re the ones who notice when you need an extra pillow, when you’re worried but not saying it, when a simple reassurance makes all the difference.
And then there’s everyone else—the transporters who chat with you on the way to radiology, the food services staff who remember your dietary restrictions, the cleaning team who keep everything spotless. Every single person here plays a role in your healing.
Technology That Serves You, Not the Other Way Around
We invest in technology because it helps us take better care of you—not because it looks impressive in a brochure.
Robotic-assisted surgery lets our surgeons operate through tiny incisions with precision that human hands alone can’t achieve. For you, that often means less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster returns to normal life.
AI-powered diagnostic tools help our radiologists spot subtle findings that might otherwise be missed. When every day counts—especially in cancer care—earlier detection changes outcomes.
Telemedicine became essential during the pandemic, and we’ve kept it because it works. Follow-up visits, medication checks, and even some initial consultations can happen from your living room. No commuting, no waiting rooms, just your doctor on the screen.
Electronic Health Records mean every provider you see here has your complete medical history at their fingertips. No repeating your story to five different people. No lost paper records. Just seamless, coordinated care.
More Than Medicine: Supporting You Completely
You’re not just a collection of symptoms. You’re a person with a life, a family, and concerns that go beyond your diagnosis.
That’s why we offer:
Preventive health packages tailored to your age, gender, and risk factors. Catch problems early, or avoid them entirely.
Patient navigation for complex conditions. If you’re facing cancer or heart surgery, a dedicated navigator helps you schedule appointments, understand your options, and find resources.
Financial counselors who help you navigate insurance questions before treatment, so surprises don’t show up on bills.
Spiritual care for patients who want it, representing multiple faith traditions.
Language services including interpreters for Spanish, Mandarin, Russian, and dozens of other languages—because you deserve to understand everything in the language you’re most comfortable with.
Quality You Can Trust: Our Accreditations
The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval isn’t easy to earn. It means an independent team of experts has scrutinized everything we do—from how we prevent infections to how we handle emergencies—and found us worthy of their highest standard.
We’ve also received numerous awards for clinical excellence, patient safety, and community service. But the recognition that matters most? The families who come back to thank us. The patients who refer their loved ones. The neighbors who trust us with their most precious asset: their health.
Making Care Affordable and Accessible
Healthcare in New York shouldn’t require a second mortgage. We work with an extensive network of insurance providers to make your care affordable:
- Most major commercial insurance plans
- Medicare and Medicaid
- HMO and PPO plans from leading carriers
Our cashless treatment options mean you focus on healing while we handle the paperwork. For patients without insurance, our financial assistance programs can help. And for international patients, our dedicated team assists with travel coordination, visa letters, and appointments—all in one seamless process.
Giving Back to Our Community
Mount Sinai Morningside has called this neighborhood home for over a century. We believe in giving back:
- Free health screenings at community centers and houses of worship
- Vaccination clinics for flu, COVID-19, and childhood immunizations
- Health education seminars on topics from diabetes management to heart-healthy cooking
- Partnerships with local schools to teach kids about nutrition and wellness
When our community thrives, we all thrive.
Advancing Medicine Through Research
As an academic affiliate of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, we’re part of a community that’s constantly asking: “How can we do this better?”
Our physicians conduct clinical trials and publish research that shapes treatment guidelines worldwide. They also teach the next generation of doctors, which means your care benefits from the latest thinking—because our attendings are explaining complex cases to bright young residents every single day.
For patients, this means access to cutting-edge treatments before they’re widely available. If you have a challenging condition, ask your doctor whether a clinical trial might be right for you.
A Greener Hospital for a Healthier City
Caring for our patients means caring for the environment they live in. We’ve implemented:
- Solar panels that reduce our energy footprint
- Rigorous medical waste management that keeps harmful materials out of landfills
- Water conservation systems throughout our campus
- Sustainable purchasing practices for everything from food to linens
Small changes add up to a healthier planet—and healthier patients.
Real Stories From Real Patients
“They gave me my life back.”
— David Chen, 67, cardiac bypass patient
“I had a heart attack while walking my dog near Riverside Park. The paramedics brought me here, and within 90 minutes I was in surgery. The cardiac team was incredible—skilled, fast, and human. My wife says they saved my life. I say they gave me more years with the people I love.”
“From crippling pain to dancing at my daughter’s wedding.”
— Patricia Okonkwo, 58, joint replacement patient
“For two years, hip pain made everything difficult—walking to the subway, playing with my grandson, even sleeping. The orthopedics team didn’t just replace my hip; they walked me through every step, answered every anxious question, and had me on my feet faster than I ever imagined. I danced at my daughter’s wedding last month. No limp, no pain. Just joy.”
“Compassion when we needed it most.”
— The Rodriguez family, oncology patients’ loved ones
“When my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, we were terrified. The oncology team at Morningside became our anchors. They were honest about the challenges but never took away our hope. They made sure my father was comfortable, and they made sure our family understood what was happening. He spent his last weeks in peace, surrounded by people who treated him like family.”

What makes Mount Sinai Morningside different from other NYC hospitals?
