The Mount Sinai Hospital has opened its completely renovated children’s Emergency Department (ED) and the newly redesigned area for walk-in and low acuity adult patients.
The two works are marked as the initial two phases of a five-phase renovation project, which will double the complete ED’s footprint.
Slated for completion in 2024, the project is part of the $70m transformation plan of the hospital that was made possible by using donations obtained from Andrew and Denise Saul, Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer and Rolex Watch U.S.A.
The renovated ED features advanced assessment and treatment rooms to improve access to life-saving health care.
The new Children’s ED has a separate space from the adult ED and is connected to all services within Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital to address the children and their families’ needs.
The facility has increased bed capacity and is nearly double the size of the previous space.
