Building for the Future: Mount Sinai Marks the ‘Topping Out’ for the Braman Comprehensive Cancer Center

In February, Mount Sinai Medical Center celebrated the Topping Out for the new Irma and Norman Braman Comprehensive Cancer Center, located on its main campus in Miami Beach. This pivotal development has been decades in the making to address the critical need of prompt detection, early intervention, cutting-edge treatments, and an increased capacity for oncology services.

The ceremony was attended by key figures, including Jeanette Rubio, a close family friend of the Bramans’, and representatives from the City of Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County. To commemorate this milestone, the last beam of the building was ceremoniously signed, and it will be placed at the top of the new cancer center.

“Opening in early 2026, the Braman Comprehensive Cancer Center will deliver true clinical excellence to the South Florida community,” says Norman Braman. “It will allow Mount Sinai physicians to deliver care in a completely patient-centric, high-touch, high-tech environment.”

The Braman Comprehensive Cancer Center will provide a suite of support services, including group therapy sessions, spa treatments, and nutrition services. This level of comprehensive treatment will be unparalleled in South Florida.

“The Topping Out represents one step closer toward the completion of our critical expansion of high-quality cancer care for South Florida. As our teams continue construction, we continue recruiting expert medical staff and implementing new technologies, all of which will allow us to meet our community’s growing need for more cancer resources,” says Gino R. Santorio, President and CEO of Mount Sinai Medical Center.

Barry L. Skolnick, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and namesake of the Skolnick Surgical Tower at Mount Sinai Medical Center, voiced his support of the new center at the event: “Through personalized care and attention, clinical excellence, robust research, and enhanced support services, our expanding, highly skilled medical staff will deliver unmatched expertise to South Florida residents, right in our backyard.”

With the completion of the building’s structure, our dedicated construction teams move toward finishing the interior wall framing, ductwork, and mechanical work. Set to be completed in early 2026, the Braman Comprehensive Cancer Center will redefine the cancer care experience and provide a holistic treatment process for its patients.
