Mount Sinai Health System joined the Government of Grenada on March 26, 2026 to mark the groundbreaking of a new general hospital under Project Polaris. The groundbreaking represents a significant milestone in a collaborative effort to enhance and expand health care services for the people of Grenada.
Mount Sinai is supporting the Government of Grenada and the Project Polaris team in developing a modern, state-of-the-art facility designed to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care. The project reflects a shared commitment to strengthening clinical capacity, expanding access, and advancing health outcomes through thoughtful design and evidence-based care models.
Throughout the planning process, Mount Sinai experts worked alongside local partners to develop care delivery models, workforce strategies, and operational plans that support both patient and staff experience. Jonathan Wetzel, FACHE, Executive Director of Mount Sinai International, stated: “From the earliest stages of planning, our teams have worked closely with colleagues in Grenada to help shape a clinical model that reflects both international best practices and the unique needs of the community.”
Project Polaris represents a significant national investment in health care infrastructure and a long-term commitment to advancing health equity and access in Grenada and the wider Caribbean. According to Project Sponsor Ambassador Andrea St. Bernard, “the Government of Grenada is making a transformative investment in modern healthcare infrastructure, advanced technology, and resilient systems to redefine care delivery in Grenada and the wider Caribbean. With Mount Sinai as our strategic partner, we are embedding global standards, expertise, and training to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care and improved health outcomes for all.”
