Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center: Health Hub
The Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center was established in 1968 by Dr. Joan Morgenthau, a Mount Sinai pediatrician who recognized that adolescents needed the privacy and comfort of their own health care space, outside the intimidating façade of a hospital. Their team of specialized professionals is devoted to the 12,000 young people, ages 10 to 22, who come to them for every kind of health and wellness care: Primary, sexual and reproductive, mental health, nutrition and fitness, even dental and optical. They provide all these services under one roof in New York—and without regard to their patients’ ability to pay. No young person is ever turned away or billed. They treat all who come to them with compassion, respect and confidentiality.
