Mount Sinai South Nassau Expands Anesthesia Services
Mount Sinai South Nassau, known for its longstanding commitment to quality healthcare in the region, has recently announced significant enhancements to its anesthesia services. This initiative is part of the hospital's continuous expansion as a teaching institution and is supported by a strategic partnership with the Greater New York Anesthesia Services (GNYAS). This alliance seeks to bolster the hospital's capabilities to provide comprehensive anesthesia for its surgical procedures.
Located in Oceanside, New York, Mount Sinai South Nassau operates as a 455-bed facility equipped with 14 operating rooms. The hospital is preparing to open nine additional and more spacious operating rooms in the upcoming spring, situated within the new Feil Family Pavilion. The addition of these advanced rooms aims to facilitate increasingly complex cardiac surgeries, thus preventing patients from needing to seek treatment in distant Manhattan facilities.
Since its establishment in 1928, the hospital has served as the flagship institution for the Mount Sinai Health System on Long Island. It is classified as a Level II Trauma Center and boasts various services, including obstetrics, while planning to expand its complex cardiac surgical offerings by 2026. This year also marks the introduction of a new anesthesiology residency program affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, initiated under the direction of GNYAS.
Dr. Adhi Sharma, President of Mount Sinai South Nassau, remarked on the significance of this collaboration, emphasizing the improved access to high-quality anesthesia care that patients in the community will enjoy. He highlighted that the highly skilled team provided by GNYAS is dedicated to ensuring that the hospital can meet the growing demand for intricate medical procedures, including those pertaining to cardiology, neurology, and advanced cancer treatments.
In echoing Dr. Sharma's sentiments, Dr. Alan Sim, Chief of Anesthesia at the hospital, expressed optimism about the collaborative environment fostered by working with GNYAS, a physician-led anesthesia group. He underlined the importance of clinicians concentrating on patient care, noting that this partnership is designed to streamline business practices while delivering outstanding patient care.
Patients can expect to benefit from an expanded range of services and improved access to care. The collaboration with GNYAS will enable Mount Sinai South Nassau to enhance its operational efficiency, facilitating better outcomes for patients undergoing surgical procedures in its state-of-the-art facilities. This initiative not only reflects the hospital’s dedication to excellence in healthcare but also its commitment to serving the local community with superior medical services.
GNYAS, which specializes in providing efficient and high-quality anesthesia care across the greater New York City area, operates with the support of Mount Sinai Health System and the U.S. Anesthesia Partners, Inc. This partnership elevates the standard of care that patients can expect, ensuring that both clinicians and administrators can focus on delivering outstanding patient experiences. This new chapter for Mount Sinai South Nassau promises to significantly impact the community's health and overall well-being, paving the way for advanced medical care right on the South Shore.
