Mount Sinai Beth Israel is a 799-bed teaching hospital in Manhattan.[1] It is part of the Mount Sinai Health System, a nonprofit health system formed in September 2013 by the merger of Continuum Health Partners and Mount Sinai Medical Center, and an academic affiliate of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

On May 25, 2016, Mount Sinai announced a significant restructuring and downsizing, with plans to build a new hospital with only 70 inpatient beds on a site several blocks away, after which the main hospital on 16th Street would close and be sold.[11]
On June 11, 2017, the hospital's Labor and Delivery Department closed, followed by the hospital's "Continuum Center for Health and Healing" later in the year.[12][13]
The relocation plan, which would have the new facility open in 2023 and share a campus with the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary[14] was approved by the state on February 6, 2020,[15] however on June 15, 2021, the hospital announced they would no longer be relocating.[16]
In 2023, citing financial loss, Mount Sinai announced plan for closure of Beth Israel Hospital over the coming years and on October 26 announced a tentative closing date of July 12, 2024.[17][18][19]
