Mount Sinai Beth Israel is an 799-bed, full-service tertiary teaching hospital in New York City. Originally dedicated to serving immigrant Jews living in the tenement slums of the Lower East Side of Manhattan, it was founded at the turn of the 20th century. Now it serves the diverse population of Lower Manhattann including Manhattan's Lower East Side, as well as Chinatown, Gramercy, the West Village, Chelsea, as well as many neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

The main hospital building is known as the Petrie Division, located at First Avenue and 16th Street facing Stuyvesant Square. Other campuses included Mount Sinai Brooklyn in Midwood and Mount Sinai Downtown-Union Square (formerly Phillips Ambulatory Care Center) at Union Square. It is an academic affiliate of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

The hospital recruited specialists to expand services in heart disease, cancer, neurology, and orthopedics. Other medical specialties include gastrointestinal disease, chemical dependency, psychiatric disorders, pain management and palliative care, and HIV/AIDS research and treatment. The hospital also has significantly advanced its commitment to community-based ambulatory care and expanding patient access to primary and specialty care. Mount Sinai Beth Israel has one of the nation's largest networks of methadone treatment programs.

Mount Sinai Beth Israel is a member of the Mount Sinai Health System, a nonprofit health system formed by the merger of Continuum Health Partners and The Mount Sinai Medical Center in September 2013. Before the merger, the facility was known as Beth Israel Medical Center.
