This is an incomplete collection of records and does not portray the scope of the responsibilities encompassed by the Director's Office. Some of the reasons for this are explained above, and it seems clear that over the years many files were just discarded. Still, the limited amount here is of interest to anyone studying The Mount Sinai Hospital during these years.

The files consist of correspondence with outside agencies and memos to staff, physicians (Baehr, Baronofsky, Berson, Dameshek, Feitelberg, Gadboys, Gutman, Guttmacher, Hitzig, Hollander, and Klemperer) and Trustees (Haas and Klingenstein). The Elmhurst material relates primarily to the house staff there. The Hiroshima Maidens file contains information about this project from 1955-56, including clippings and letters. The Real Estate Investment files include the contents of a binder with pages devoted to each property held by The Mount Sinai Hospital around the New York City area, including many with photographs and descriptions of the neighborhoods. Perhaps the most important event during Dr. Steinberg's tenure as Director was the establishment of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. The files relating to this were given to the President/Dean's Office (George James) once it was set up. This material was later sent to the Archives as a block and is now the collection Mount Sinai School of Medicine Early Papers.

In 2018, the Archives acquired additional material and created a series for Artifacts. This includes a gold-tone medal encased in Lucite that was given to Dr. Steinberg on Dedication Day of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, October 20, 1968. There is also a framed collage relating to Dr. Steinberg's role in the creation of Medicare. It includes a telegram from the White House stating, "The President has asked me to invite you to witness the signing of the historical Medicare bill tomorrow, Friday, July 30." There is also a letter dated August 3, 1965 from Lawrence O'Brien at the White House noting an enclosed pen that had been used to sign H. R. 6675, the Medicare Bill. All three items are mounted inside a framed case.

The files consist primarily of memos and correspondence with staff and Trustees and include remarks by Dr. Pomrinse, plans for the new Annenberg Building, information on Dr. Pomrinse's role as the first Edmond A. Guggenheim Professor of Administrative Medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Files 2, 5, and 10 provide insights into labor relations and strikes during Dr. Pomrinse's tenure as Director. This is an incomplete collection of records and does not portray the scope of the responsibilities encompassed by the Director's Office.

This collection is primarily composed of memos and correspondence between Samuel Davis and Mount Sinai leadership and staff, as well as minutes and reports. The files document strategic planning at Mount Sinai (Folders 6 and 8) and the 1978 Trustees Conference. The records provide significant insight into labor relations and employee strikes during the 1970s. This collection includes materials on the work of Mount Sinai committees, the Ambulatory Care Committee (Folder 1) and the Ad Hoc Committee on Clinical Practice (Folder 3). This is an incomplete collection of records and does not portray the full scope of the responsibilities encompassed by the Director's Office. In 1981, Samuel Davis' title changed from Director of the Mount Sinai Hospital (1975-1981) to President of the Mount Sinai Hospital, a role he held until 1984. This change is documented in Folder 2, Asnes Committee Report.
