Residents in Astoria and other Queens neighborhoods will get an increased level of hospital care at the new Mount Sinai Queens Pavilion, which formally opened with an April 26 ceremony. “Today marks the culmination of a plan that, if you can believe it, began almost 20 years ago. A plan that sought to ensure that the residents of this neighborhood, this community and this borough could get high-quality care close to where they live and work,” said Caryn A. Schwab, the executive director of Mount Sinai Queens in her opening remarks. Schwab added that in the last 18 to 24 months, the hospital employed over 40 new physicians to provide enhanced care at the six-story, 140,000 square-foot Pavilion. The new Pavilion features an enlarged surgical suite with six new operating rooms, expanded outpatient medical imaging for tests like MRI, CT X-ray and ultrasound, and pre-surgical testing services.
