For the third consecutive year, Annapoorna S. Kini, MD, Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at The Mount Sinai Hospital, invited Mount Sinai Heart staff and their families to join her for a 5K run. More than 80 employees and their families participated in the event that took place on Saturday, May 21, in Central Park. “It is very important to practice what we preach,” says Dr. Kini (shown in photo at right, front row, center). “We tell our patients to exercise in order to be heart healthy. As staff, we need to serve as examples for our patients and make sure that we are heart healthy ourselves.” Dr. Kini, who is also Professor of Medicine (Cardiology), additionally encouraged staff from throughout the Hospital to participate in International Yoga Day on Tuesday, June 21 (left photo), a full-day event that attracted more than 100 individuals and featured meditation, yoga, and talks on nutrition.
