Welcome to the front entrance at Mount Sinai Hospital. This is where our patients and visitors get dropped off or park their vehicles. Our parking structure is conveniently located adjacent to the hospital off Ogden Avenue.
Crown Lobby
Our Crown Lobby is where you enter after walking through the front doors of the hospital. Newly renovated and almost complete, our Crown Lobby front desk is where visitors and patients check in. We kindly ask to wear masks at all times and have your temperature taken by security upon entry.
NICU Unit
This is the desk where the parents and visitors sign in with the unit secretary. Scroll to the sink and zoom out, you can see the NICU rooms where infants will stay. Hand hygiene is important to keep our infants safe. We ask parents to wash their hands, we also have hand sanitizer in each area.
Labor and Delivery
This is what your delivery room will look like. Infant warmers are in each room, where they can be weighed and evaluated and given to mom to hold for some skin to skin. During your stay you will be placed on an external fetal monitor and a contraction monitor. Staff can monitor the status of your progress remotely from the nurses station. There are cots for your guest to sleep and a peanut ball to help with labor progression.
Mother and Baby
Once mom and baby are stable they will be transferred to the Mother/Baby unit. Here you will room in with your healthy full term infant. Cots are also available for your guest. A recliner is in each room so that you can have a comfortable spot to nurse or hold your infant.
NICU
In the NICU you will see infant warmers, isolettes and open cribs to meet our many infant needs.
