The Mount Sinai Health System opened the Carolyn Rowan Center for Women’s Health and Wellness on May 27, offering a new model of coordinated care for women across their lifespan. The 11,000-square-foot facility is located at 1427 Madison Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
Made possible by a philanthropic gift from Mount Sinai Trustee Carolyn Rowan, the center brings together a wide range of women’s health services under one roof. Services include gynecology, obstetrics, perimenopause and menopause care, endocrinology, cardiology, behavioral and mental health, orthopedics and musculoskeletal health, sexual health, pelvic-floor physical therapy, nutrition counseling, and gynecologic surgery. Onsite diagnostics such as bone density testing and advanced gynecologic ultrasound are also available to enable coordinated evaluation and treatment.
“The Rowan Women’s Health Center was designed to bring experts together in a centralized, integrative clinical space to deliver coordinated, thoughtful, and comprehensive care,” said Joanne L. Stone. “Many conditions we see in women have interconnected symptoms, and this Center and model provide seamless access and multi-specialty connectivity throughout the care journey.”
The center introduces themed clinical pathways called MyPath that provide guided multi-visit experiences aligning specialists with diagnostics over time. The first pathway launched is MyPath Balance 40+, focusing on hormonal and cardiometabolic transitions for women aged 40 or older. Additional pathways such as MyPath Moms and MyPath Vitality 60+ will be offered in the future. Patients may also access specialty services independently based on their needs.
Clinical Strategy Leader Anna Barbieri led development of the integrative care model alongside Medical Director Francesco Callipari, who oversees clinical standards across specialties. “Women’s health is complex, interconnected, and historically under-researched. By coordinating care across specialties and aligning it with the biology of each life stage, we can improve outcomes and give women greater clarity and agency in their health decisions,” said Barbieri.
Brendan G. Carr said, “This Center represents a new model of care for women—one that brings together multidisciplinary expertise, coordinated clinical pathways, and leading-edge research in a single integrated setting.” The facility includes exam rooms as well as spaces dedicated to pelvic-floor therapy procedures.
