"Mount Sinai To Expand Multiple Myeloma Unit" - Robin Schatz
The hospital is seeking permission from the state Health Department to relocate and expand its services to treat the blood cancer, adding 15 exam rooms. The number of exam-room visits for multiple myeloma grew 22 percent from 2014 to 2016 to a total of 7,006 visits, according to Mount Sinai's certificate-of-need application. To make space for the new unit, Mount Sinai plans to relocate an existing non–Article 28 primary-care practice operated by the faculty practice association to off-campus space. Existing oncologists and new recruits will take over the newly vacated third-floor space. The proposed cost for the project is about $86,000. There is no need for new construction, as the space already complies with Article 28 of the Public Health Law, according to the hospital's application.
