Mount Sinai Medical Center & Miami Heart Institute




This article is about the hospital in Florida. For other uses, see Mount Sinai (disambiguation).

Mount Sinai Medical Center is a hospital located at 4300 Alton Road in Miami Beach, Florida, and is the largest independent non-profit hospital in South Florida. The institution was incorporated on March 11, 1946, and opened on its current location on Sunday, December 4, 1949. This institution is not affiliated with the Mount Sinai School of Medicine or Mount Sinai Hospital, established in 1852 in New York.


Mount Sinai Medical Center includes six locations throughout Miami-Dade County. In 2009, Mount Sinai Medical Center began an affiliation with Columbia University, allowing for students and patients to treat, research, and study between Miami and New York City. As part of the affiliation, the Mount Sinai Heart Institute and the Columbia University Divisions of Cardiology and Urology at Mount Sinai were created.


Today, the medical center has 672 beds and five satellite locations throughout Miami-Dade. These include a freestanding emergency department, physician offices, diagnostic center and cancer center in Aventura, physician offices in Coral Gables, Hialeah and Key Biscayne and a diagnostic catheterization and sleep lab in Coral Gables. Mount Sinai includes more than 700 physicians, 3,500 employees and 500 volunteers.

Miami Heart Institute


Mount Sinai Medical Center sold the Miami Heart Institute in February 2012. The hospital is being demolished and redeveloped as a luxury condo. Mount Sinai Medical Center is the only hospital and largest employer on Miami Beach.


Mount Sinai purchased Miami Heart Institute in 2000 for $75 million on the theory that consolidating the two hospitals would slowly ease the competition of the two nearby facilities and improve their image.[citation needed] Many of Miami Heart Institute's Doctors, nurses and skilled technical staff where transferred over to Mount Sinai as part of the acquisition.
