Slated for completion in 2024, the project is part of the $70m transformation plan of the hospital that was made possible by using donations obtained from Andrew and Denise Saul, Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer and Rolex Watch U.S.A.
The renovated ED features advanced assessment and treatment rooms to improve access to life-saving health care.
The new Children’s ED has a separate space from the adult ED and is connected to all services within Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital to address the children and their families’ needs.
