'''Mount Sinai Morningside''', formerly known as '''Mount Sinai St. Luke's''', is a teaching hospital located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It is affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Health System, a nonprofit hospital system formed by the merger of Continuum Health Partners and the Mount Sinai Medical Center in September 2013. It provides general medical and surgical facilities, ambulatory care, and a Level II Trauma Center, verified by the American College of Surgeons.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Trauma Centers |url=https://www.facs.org/hospital-and-facilities/?searchTerm=Mount+Sinai&institution=VerifiedTraumaCenter&address=New+York&sort=a-z&page=1 |archive-url= |archive-date= |access-date=2025-07-03 |website=American College of Surgeons |language=en}}</ref> From 1978 to 2020, it was affiliated with Mount Sinai West as part of '''St. Luke's–Roosevelt Hospital Center'''.
Mount Sinai Morningside is the primary provider of health care serving the neighborhoods of the Upper West Side and western Harlem. As of 2025, Dr. Tracy Breen, MD, FACP, is the interim president and Chief Medical Officer.
The structure was erected in 1896 as '''St. Luke's Hospital''', and was designed by Ernest Flagg. Several additions were built in the early 20th century, and some of the original pavilions have been demolished. Parts of the facility have been designated as an official New York City landmark, and the remaining pavilions of the original hospital are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
== Services and academics == In addition to primary care, the hospital includes specialty clinics. A partial list includes cardiology/cardiovascular surgery, cancer, bariatrics and diabetes, geriatrics, and neurology.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West Hospitals |url=https://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals/area/ny/st-lukes-roosevelt-hospital-center-6213335 |access-date=2025-07-03 |website=U.S. News & World Report}}</ref>
The facility has 489 beds.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NYS Health Profile: Mount Sinai Morningside |url=https://profiles.health.ny.gov/hospital/printview/102929 |access-date=2025-07-03 |website=profiles.health.ny.gov}}</ref>
=== Emergency department === The Emergency department is staffed 24-hours by board-certified physicians, nurses, physician assistants, social workers, and case managers who specialize in emergency medicine. The hospital also provides pediatric emergency medicine, psychiatric emergency, and specialized services for victims of sexual assaults. The department has a 24-hour stroke team and Heart Attack (MI) Team, as well as a 24-hour on-call cardiac catheterization lab.
=== Residency programs === The Department of Medicine trains 158 residents and an additional 39 fellows. Each program has full accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the institution itself is accredited for the maximum 5-year cycle. The program has its own Simulation Lab for training residents. The residency program in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology used Mount Sinai Beth Israel, until it closed in 2025,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-04-09 |title=Mount Sinai Beth Israel in East Village officially closes after judge dismisses bid to stay open |url=https://abc7ny.com/post/mount-sinai-beth-israel-east-village-officially-closes-judge-dismisses-community-group-bid-stay-open/16148740/ |access-date=2025-04-09 |website=ABC7 New York |language=en}}</ref> in addition to Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West.
== History ==
=== Founding === St. Luke's was founded by William Augustus Muhlenberg, pastor of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion. In 1846, Muhlenberg started raising funds for New York City residents who were both poor and ill.<ref name="NYCL (2002) p. 2">{{harvnb|Landmarks Preservation Commission|2002|ps=.|p=2}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Flagg|1893|ps=.|p=9}}</ref> St. Luke's was incorporated in 1850,<ref name="NYCL (2002) p. 2" /><ref name="Dolkart p. 85">{{harvnb|Dolkart|1998|ps=.|p=85}}</ref><ref name="Flagg p. 11">{{harvnb|Flagg|1893|ps=.|p=11}}</ref> becoming only the fourth general hospital to open in New York City.<ref name="Dolkart p. 85" /> The hospital received its first patients in 1853, initially operating within the Church of the Holy Communion building at Sixth Avenue and 20th Street in present-day Chelsea.<ref name="Dolkart p. 85" /><ref name="Flagg p. 11" /> The next year, the institution acquired a plot on Fifth Avenue between 54th and 55th Streets, near St. Patrick's Cathedral.<ref name="Dolkart p. 85" /> John W.

George Macculloch Miller, who had led the purchase of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine's land in Morningside Heights, was interested in a partnership with St. Luke's Hospital.<ref name="Dolkart p. 86" /> In 1892, Miller convinced the hospital to purchase the site directly north of the cathedral, between 113th and 114th Street.<ref name="NYCL (2002) p. 2" /><ref name="Dolkart p. 86" /> The arrangement was expected to be beneficial for both institutions. An annual report from St. Luke's lauded the proximity to Morningside Park, immediately to the east, as well as its elevated location on top of the Morningside Heights plateau.<ref name="NYCL (2002) p. 2" /><ref name="Dolkart p. 87">{{harvnb|Dolkart|1998|ps=.|p=87}}</ref> The acquisition proved difficult, as St. Luke's had to take land from eight landowners.<ref name="Dolkart p. 87" />
The building committee headed a design competition for the project,<ref name="NYCL (2002) p. 2" /> in which eighty firms participated.<ref name="Stern (1983) p. 402" /> Five prominent architects — Heins & LaFarge, James Brown Lord, George Edward Harney, James Renwick Jr., and Charles W. Clinton — were offered $400 to submit designs.<ref name="Stern (1983) p. 402" /><ref name="Dolkart p. 87" /> Renwick and Clinton declined to enter the competition, and other architects submitted plans without receiving compensation.<ref name="Dolkart p. 87" /> Most of these schemes harmonized the hospital's design with the Gothic Revival style of the cathedral.<ref name="Dolkart p. 87" /> The competition was mildly controversial: the ''Real Estate Record and Guide'' said that because competitors could not use pseudonyms, the judges could more easily identify the architects that they favored.<ref>{{cite journal|date=August 13, 1892|title=St. Luke's Competition|url=https://rerecord.library.columbia.edu/pdf_files/ldpd_7031148_010_7.pdf|journal=The Real Estate Record: Real Estate Record and Builders' Guide|volume=50|pages=208|via=columbia.edu|number=1274|access-date=February 22, 2020|archive-date=December 25, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191225011034/https://rerecord.library.columbia.edu/pdf_files/ldpd_7031148_010_7.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> The commission was ultimately given to Ernest Flagg.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/41036160/|title=Architects for St. Luke's|date=November 25, 1892|work=New-York Tribune|access-date=December 25, 2019|page=2|via=newspapers.com}}</ref><ref name="Dolkart p. 88">{{harvnb|Dolkart|1998|ps=.|p=88}}</ref> His proposal was the only design that deviated significantly from the cathedral's design, as it was in the French Renaissance Revival style.<ref name="Dolkart p. 88" /> Flagg likely benefited from favoritism:<ref name="NYCL (2002) p. 2" /><ref name="Dolkart p. 88" /><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1892/08/17/archives/st-lukes-new-hospital-plans-offered-in-competition-by-ten.html|title=St. Luke's New Hospital; Plans Offered in Competition by Ten Architects.
