Within the next year, a Mount Sinai retail pharmacy and Mount Sinai Express Care — an urgent care clinic associated with the hospital’s emergency room — will also open on the first floor of the building.

“The opening of Mount Sinai Queens-Crescent Street marks a transformative milestone in our ability to provide a wide range of health care services for the Queens community,” said Cameron R. Hernandez, MD, Executive Director and COO, Mount Sinai Queens. “This new facility will help redefine health care accessibility, ensuring that every individual receives comprehensive and tailored care that transcends conventional boundaries.”

The addition of the new Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital space further enhances cardiac care options available at Mount Sinai Queens. The hospital features modern technologies that provide cutting-edge care, including a new cardiac CT scanner and cardiac nuclear camera, which were generously donated to the hospital. With these improvements and the recent opening of the first cardiac catheterization lab in Astoria, Mount Sinai is transforming cardiac treatment for the western Queens area.

“With the integration of these services under one roof, we’re creating a continuum of care, from preventative measures to managing complex medical conditions,” Hernandez said. “We’re thrilled to expand our outpatient services in Queens, and look forward to continuing our pursuit of providing innovative, compassionate, and patient-centered health care that truly makes a difference in the lives of those we serve.”
