Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC

Mount Sinai Hospital, which is part of a larger, citywide Mount Sinai Health System, is home to a multidisciplinary team of specialists dedicated to the treatment of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases.

Mount Sinai also is home to the largest WTC Health Program Clinical Center of Excellence. The program, established in 2010, provides long-term medical assistance to those affected by the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York City.

Researchers at Mount Sinai have documented many long-range physical and mental health problems experienced by 9/11 responders and volunteers. Asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma stem from the toxic cloud that hovered over parts of the city for weeks.
