Have you seen this MSBI-famous and Instagram-famous dog before?
That’s Louboutina (@Louboutinanyc), NYC’s famous hugging dog and her owner, Cesar Fernandez-Chavez, who is the language and interpreter services coordinator at MSBI. He is an energetic part of the MSBI family and he recently reached out when he was in need.
On Christmas Day, Cesar’s Chelsea apartment burned down and he lost everything. Our MSBI family banded together to help him find a temporary place to stay and his Instagram community raised funds to help him recover his life and belongings. Cesar took some time off to be with family and here’s what he says about returning to MSBI:
“There was a warm welcome when I went back on the floors. I was reminded of why I do what I do. This community is my family.”
Here is a photo of Louboutina with some of our physicians earlier this week:
