Mount Sinai Beth Israel
Mount Sinai Beth Israel is a member of the Mount Sinai Health System, the largest health care system in New York City. As such, it provides Dr. Grant access to a wide variety of specialists to whom he can refer his patients. The clout of Provider Partners of Mount Sinai allows Dr. Grant to get approval for testing and prescriptions that might not be permitted otherwise.
The facilities of the Mount Sinai system include: the Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Beth Israel. Mount Sinai St. Luke’s, Mount Sinai West (Roosevelt), New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, among others. The integration of these sites provides Dr. Grant a wider referral base than does a single hospital.
Nevertheless, one of Dr. Grant’s goals is to keep his patients out of the hospital.
