The Mount Sinai Health System in New York has created an ad hoc board committee to examine its longstanding ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein[1][2]. The committee is responding to new documents from the US Department of Justice that revealed Epstein's donations of at least $250,000 after his conviction in 2008[1][2]. The documents describe how Epstein coordinated appointments, solicited referrals and secured VIP care for women in his circle outside of standard hospital channels[1]. Hospital Trustee Dr. Eva Andersson-Dubin proposed a $5 million floor for women after cancer surgery, which could be called the "Epstein Floor for Women" if Epstein funded it[1]. Epstein also sponsored luncheons at the Dubin Breast Center and donated $25,000 to renovate the Neonatal ICU, sometimes under pseudonyms such as "Uncle F" or "Enhanced Education"[2]. In 2019, Mount Sinai pledged to match Epstein's donation to an anti-trafficking charity, but did not disclose the total amount[2][3]. The committee will recommend action if it finds deficiencies in the policies while the Justice Department continues to process additional documents[1].
