The Sinai Health System is a hospital system located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was formed on January 22, 2015, through the voluntary amalgamation of two hospitals: Mount Sinai Hospital and Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital. Both hospitals are affiliated with the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine.

Mount Sinai Hospital, founded in 1923, is a 442-bed general hospital situated along University Avenue in downtown Toronto. It is connected to three adjacent hospitals of the University Health Network: Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. The hospital also houses the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, which conducts medical research on diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, and diabetes.

Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital, founded in 1875, is a 464-bed rehabilitation hospital located in the Riverdale neighborhood of Toronto. It specializes in providing care for patients with complex chronic ailments and those requiring physical rehabilitation.

In the 2019-2020 fiscal year, Mount Sinai Hospital had nearly 29,000 inpatient stays and 59,700 emergency department visits. The hospital is known for its high-quality healthcare services and is affiliated with the University of Toronto, contributing to medical education and research.

Sinai Health System and the University Health Network jointly operate the Sinai Health-UHN Antimicrobial Stewardship Program, which aims to improve patient access to appropriate antibiotics while combating antimicrobial resistance.
