"Mount Sinai Opens Second Respiratory Clinic With Denver Hospital - Jonathan LaMantia"

Mount Sinai Health System on Monday opened its second Manhattan practice as part of a joint venture with National Jewish Health, tapping into the Denver health system's expertise in respiratory diseases. The new practice, at 10 Union Square East, underwent a $3.6 million renovation on the second floor of Mount Sinai Union Square and will offer treatment for respiratory ailments including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Mount Sinai partnered with NJH to adopt its multidisciplinary approach to treating respiratory diseases, said Charles Powell, MD, CEO of the Mount Sinai–National Jewish Health Respiratory Institute. The Union Square practice will house specialists in cardiology, otolaryngology, rheumatology and thoracic surgery. "Having expertise on-site at the time of a patient visit for respiratory disease facilitates communication and collaboration," Dr. Powell said. "It's much more efficient than other models where all those specialists are separate."
