Founded in 1902 as the Beth Israel School of Nursing, it was chartered in 1904[1] by the New York Board of Regents.

[2] From 2013 until 2022, it was named the Phillips School of Nursing at Mount Sinai Beth Israel.

The school reflected a historical national movement toward nurses providing services at hospitals while they were in training.

After decades of expansions and acquisitions, in 2013 Beth Israel Medical Center joined the Mount Sinai Health System.

Designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, the 35,000 square facility includes a multi-purpose auditorium and a state-of-the-art simulation center with hospital inpatient, primary care, home care, and operating room settings.
