Mount Sinai Medical Center

The Mount Sinai Medical Center encompassed The Mount Sinai Hospital (Manhattan) and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Founded in 1852, The Mount Sinai Hospital is one of the oldest and largest teaching hospitals in the U.S. The hospital campus is located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, beside Central Park. The Mount Sinai School of Medicine opened to students in 1968. In 2012, the name was changed to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Continuum Health Partners

Continuum consisted of:

  • Beth Israel Medical Center
  • St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center
  • New York Eye and Ear Infirmary
  • Continuum Health Partners, Inc. was formed in 1997 as a partnership of three institutions—Beth Israel Medical Center, St. Luke's Hospital, and Roosevelt Hospital.

    Drawing on complementary strengths, offering a broad based fully integrated health services network throughout the New York City metropolitan region. This capability was augmented with the addition of The New York Eye & Ear Infirmary in 1999.

    With a total combined annual operating budget of $2.1 billion, Continuum hospitals delivered inpatient care through nearly 3,100 certified beds located in seven major facilities in Manhattan and Brooklyn, while providing outpatient care in private practice settings and ambulatory centers. Continuum treated patients in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Westchester County.

    Contract dispute with Aetna

    In April 2010, Aetna notified policyholders that it was in a contract dispute with Continuum Health Partners and that the contract would lapse as of June 5, 2010. The June 5 date passed and the contract lapsed. Continuum Health Partners provided subscribers with a form to request that Aetna retain their physicians for one year or until the policy period ended. On July 28, 2010, Continuum Health Partners announced a new agreement with Aetna. Within this agreement, it was noted that the effective date would be retroactive to the April 5, 2010, termination date.

    Merger with Mount Sinai

    In September 2013, Continuum announced a merger with the Mount Sinai Medical Center. Brand unification was complete in January 2014.
