Mount Sinai Medical Center Foundation was founded in 1949 by a group of philanthropists who sought to establish a place where Jewish physicians could freely practice medicine and all persons regardless of ''race, creed or color'' could receive high quality medical care. The organization remains a not-for-profit organization providing vital health care services. The organization also raises funds to support Mount Sinai Medical Center, an acute care teaching and research facility. The organization is headquartered in Miami Beach, FL.
