Mount Sinai Medical Center (Miami)

Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach is an independent nonprofit teaching institution founded in 1949. The main hospital is supported by satellite locations and emergency centers, with clinical services spanning cardiovascular medicine, surgery and specialist outpatient care.

Mount Sinai Medical Center was established in Miami Beach in 1949 by philanthropists and community members. Its official history describes two founding aims: access to medical care without discrimination and a hospital where physicians could practice without discriminatory restrictions. The institution remains an independent nonprofit teaching hospital serving Miami Beach and the wider South Florida community.

The medical center reports 664 beds at the main hospital. Its community-benefit information distinguishes that hospital from satellite centers and freestanding emergency locations. This is an important part of its organization: a network location is not automatically an inpatient hospital, and satellite activity does not increase the main hospital’s licensed bed count.

The published service lines include cardiology, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery and interventional radiology. General surgery, urology, orthopedics and cancer care are also identified. Obstetrics and gynecology, neonatology, neuroscience, gastroenterology, pulmonary medicine, rehabilitation and behavioral health broaden the clinical scope. Memory disorders and Alzheimer’s care appear as a separate service area in its community assessment.

The official community-needs assessment describes both acute and emergency care and a wider pattern of outpatient and physician-office services. Named satellite locations include Aventura and Hialeah for emergency and other care, together with primary or specialist services at additional South Florida addresses. These local descriptions demonstrate why the institution’s network should be understood as several types of clinical setting rather than one building providing identical services everywhere.

Teaching is part of the institution’s stated mission alongside research, charity care and financial responsibility. Its assessment separately reports physicians, residents and fellows, undergraduate medical participants and allied health professionals. These categories are not combined into a fabricated doctor total. The physician figure retained in the key facts is associated with the specific reporting period of the official assessment.

The current community-benefit history describes continued development of facilities and services for an expanding population. It also places the hospital’s work within a community-access mission rather than defining care solely through private treatment packages. The institutional history, service-line list and community reporting together support the profile, with the hospital’s identity kept separate from unrelated Mount Sinai organizations in other US cities.

The institution reports the following clinical and infrastructure information: outpatient care: Yes; inpatient beds: 664 (Main hospital; satellite facilities are separate.); doctors: 700+ (Medical staff in the official 2020 assessment.). The scope and reporting period remain those of the linked institutional sources.

The institution publishes a separate tariff, package-information or cost-estimation resource. Official charges / cost-estimation information. The charge list is not the amount every patient pays: select the location, service and insurance or self-pay category.
