Mount Sinai Hospital (MSH) is a hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Although it is physically linked by bridges and tunnels to two University Health Network hospitals (Toronto General Hospital and Princess Margaret Hospital), Mount Sinai is an independently operated facility. It is one of many hospitals on Hospital Row. In its most recent annual charity information return to the Canada Revenue Agency in 2005, the hospital reported having assets of roughly $520 million CAD.
Mount Sinai Hospital has existed in Toronto since 1923 under various names; it has occupied its present site on University Avenue since 1953. As of 2004, Mount Sinai operated 472 inpatient beds. In the fiscal year ending March 2004, MSH admitted nearly twenty-five thousand patients, delivered seven thousand babies, and carried out seventeen thousand operations. Toronto and area residents made more than half a million ambulatory visits to Mount Sinai.
More than two hundred scientists and students work at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai's research facility. The Institute was established in 1985. Many of its researchers hold faculty appointments at the University of Toronto.
