Mount Sinai Medical Center is constructing a new four-story medical facility, starting with a freestanding ER scheduled to open in 2026 in Westchester, Miami-Dade. This effort aims to enhance local healthcare accessibility for over 50,000 residents. The ER will provide the same services as Mount Sinai's Miami Beach hospital, with subsequent phases including a full hospital expected to be operational by 2027, offering various specialty services and elective procedures.
"We want to serve our patients the best we can and sometimes the answer to that is serving them in their community and having a presence in their community," said Angel Pallin, the hospital's executive president and chief operating officer.
Initially, the building will house just the freestanding ER, just like Mount Sinai's emergency rooms in Aventura and Hialeah. That means patients who go to the Westchester ER and need to be admitted for further treatment will be transferred to Mount Sinai's main campus in Miami Beach.
After the freestanding ER opens, the rest of the hospital is expected to be operational by 2027, expanding access to care in the Westchester community.
