How Mount Sinai and National Jewish Health Work Together

The Respiratory Institute utilizes the multidisciplinary approach of the National Jewish Health model to create outpatient programs that include pulmonologists and related specialists working side-by-side to provide patient-centered care. The Respiratory Institute also draws on Mount Sinai’s programs in personalized medicine, genomics, and data-driven clinical protocols to enhance the quality and outcomes of the respiratory disease practice.

The physicians at the Mount Sinai – National Jewish Health Respiratory Institute collaborate with physicians at National Jewish Health in Denver. Both entities have jointly developed care pathways for the treatment of patients with respiratory disease and have established regular conferences for physicians from Mount Sinai and National Jewish Health to discuss complex cases. Scheduling and referral centers have been linked to offer seamless, multidisciplinary evaluations for patients to be seen in New York or in Denver.
