Mount Sinai Health System is fairly new in the industry, as it was formed in 2013 by the combination of The Mount Sinai Medical Center and Continuum Health Partners. However, its history dates back to the mid-1800s, as The Mount Sinai Hospital was chartered in 1852 and the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai was chartered in 1820. Mount Sinai Health System has embraced the principles of diversity and inclusion as drivers of excellence. Gary Butts, MD, leads the charge at the system as its chief diversity and inclusion officer, and his and the system's work in this area has gained recognition: DiversityInc named Mount Sinai Health System as one of the Top 5 Hospitals and Health Systems for 2015 based on performance in four areas of diversity management: talent pipeline, equitable talent development, CEO/leadership commitment and supplier diversity.
