Hi,
Dumb question here, but how is Montefiore (as in Montefiore Medical Center) pronounced? Phonetically, is it Mon-tay-fee-or?
Thanks

I believe there's an extra "ay" at the end: MON-tay-FEE-or-ay

Assuming you are referring to the one in NY, yes. If you really want to be sure, you could call 718-920-4321 to hear the actual pronunciation from the automated answering system.

I called that number. It sounds like it is pronounced mon-tay-fear.
