New General Internal Medicine unit opens at Mount Sinai Hospital, enhances patient care

The development of this new 20-bed unit is part of the hospital’s Renew Sinai Phase 3A project, strategically designed based on insights gained over many years of inpatient care. The spacious, modern unit empowers clinical teams to provide person-centred treatment in a warm, welcoming environment optimized for healing.

“We are thrilled to open this thoughtfully-designed space where our teams can deliver safe, high-quality patient care,” said Dr. Luke Devine, General Internist at Mount Sinai Hospital. “The unit facilitates seamless integration with existing GIM processes to ensure continuity across the service, while also incorporating innovations to serve this increasingly complex patient population.”

The dedicated unit also offers surge capacity and a waiting area to maintain adaptability to fluctuating patient volumes.

“The launch of this new GIM unit is an exciting step forward for patient flow at Mount Sinai. It will further improve our ability to ensure medical patients receive the right care in the right place,” said Kate van den Broek, Senior Clinical Program Director, Urgent and Critical Care.

With its patient-centered layout, cutting-edge technology, and increased bed capacity, the 12 North-GIM unit demonstrates Mount Sinai’s commitment to delivering high-quality, safe and compassionate care.
