Looking at Sinai Hospital's
Comprehensive Services

With the celebration of its 26th anniversary
in 1979, Sinai Hospital has become a
mature institution providing a broad
spectrum of comprehensive medical care
services to all facets of the community; a
diversified teaching program in
undergraduate and graduate medical
education and allied health education; and
an active medical research program. At the
foundation of our broad-based program are
the Departments of Medicine and Surgery.

The Department of Medicine, which is the

provides excellence of patient care in the
surgical subspecialties of neurosurgery,

Departments of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat,
