MIAMI-DADE COUNTY GOLD Mount Sinai Medical Center 4300 Alton Road, Miami Beach 305-674-2121 www.msmc.com Comfort and technology made our readers vote Mount Sinai the best place to give birth for the second year in a row. Expectant mothers have the advantage of remaining in one room for labor, delivery and recovery when they choose the Young Presidents Club Special Delivery Suites. And for added peace of mind, the hospital's Schwartz Neonatal Pavilion features a level III intensive care unit staffed by board-certified neonatologists. Many mothers choose to take classes including Lamaze, breastfeeding, sibling preparation and infant care to get used to the surroundings. The hospital also offers rooms that are warm and comfy, not white and sterile. Rocking chairs and flowered wallpaper help moms feel at home.
