Marking the official start of construction on the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Hospital, a ceremonial groundbreaking with visionary philanthropic leaders James S. Tisch, Chairman Emeritus of the Mount Sinai Health System Boards of Trustees, and Merryl H. Tisch, EdD, was held.  

The Tisches’ transformational support has brought this milestone project to life. With key Mount Sinai leaders and project partners in attendance, the gathering celebrated the beginning of construction. 

Opening in 2030 on Mount Sinai’s Upper East Side campus, the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Hospital will build on the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center’s distinction as a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center — the highest designation awarded to cancer centers in the United States. 

The new hospital is envisioned as an ultra-modern, deeply compassionate environment where breakthrough science and whole-person care are closely connected, bringing patients, families, clinicians and researchers together in one singular place of hope and healing.
