Mount Sinai St. Luke's and Mount Sinai West (formerly Mount Sinai Roosevelt) are two hospitals affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The combined hospitals are a 1,028-bed, full-service community and tertiary care hospitals serving New York City’s Midtown West, Upper West Side and parts of Harlem.

The two hospital components, which merged operations in 1979, are nearly 50 blocks apart on Manhattan's west side:

The hospital center is a member of the Mount Sinai Health System, a nonprofit hospital system formed by the merger of Continuum Health Partners and the Mount Sinai Medical Center in September 2013. The official names of both hospitals were changed in January 2014 to Mount Sinai St. Luke's and Mount Sinai West as two separate entities. On November 17, 2015, unceremoniously and against the strong objection of the Roosevelt family, Mount Sinai Roosevelt was changed to Mount Sinai West, but is still known locally as Roosevelt Hospital.

St. Luke's Hospital was founded by William Augustus Muhlenberg, pastor of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion. St. Luke's first opened in 1858 at 54th Street and Fifth Avenue.

In 1896 it moved to 114th Street. It is across the street, to the east, from Columbia University’s campus and to the South it is flanked by the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. The historic hospital building at Amsterdam Avenue and 114th Street was designed by prominent socialite architect Ernest Flagg. The chapel of that hospital has stained glass and is the work of the same architect.
