The Mount Sinai Hospital has finished a six-phase renovation of its emergency department, significantly expanding clinical capacity and updating facilities aimed at streamlining care for the more than 100,000 patients it sees annually.
The New York-based hospital began construction in 2020. The redesigned space, now known as the Saul Family Emergency Department, adds 10,000 square feet to the clinical footprint and includes a fully renovated observation unit, larger treatment rooms, and updated triage and critical care areas.
“This exciting work represents the culmination of five years of planning and effort,” said Dr. Benjamin S. Abella, chair of emergency medicine for the Mount Sinai Health System. “We are proud to serve acutely ill patients in our communities, and this major ED renovation will greatly enhance our ability to effectively provide emergency services to those in need.”

One of the most recent additions is an adult critical care space designed for patients experiencing conditions such as cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, and septic or cardiogenic shock. The area features private bays equipped to support advanced therapies, including bedside cardiopulmonary bypass and continuous dialysis.
“We are committed to providing excellent and equitable care for all of our patients,” said Dr. Kristen M. Kelly, medical director of the emergency department. “Our new critical care space was designed with our sickest patients in mind to ensure high-quality care and the most efficient and effective use of our space.”
The final construction phase includes a combined triage area for walk-in and ambulance arrivals. According to hospital officials, the setup will reduce wait times by allowing patients to be assessed and treated more quickly.
The project also included a separate children’s emergency department, which opened in 2022. It nearly doubles the size of the previous pediatric space and adds specialized features, including a sensory-sensitive room and dedicated resuscitation area.
Funding for the overhaul came from hospital capital and private donors, including Andrew and Denise Saul.
