On August 6, Crain’s New York released the 2018 Notable Women in Healthcare and featured two of our fearless Downtown leaders along with many other Mount Sinai leaders. Crain’s does not know the extent of their brilliance, but their colleagues do.
Barbara Barnett, our Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Mount Sinai Downtown
“Barbara is like the sun: intense, powerful, bright, and warm. She is the rare combination of excellent clinician and effective administrator. Barbara is a light at our organization, and we are lucky to have her!”
-Dahlia Rizk, MD
“She doesn’t always do what’s expected, but she always does what’s right.”
-Christine Mahoney, RN, MS, AGACNP-BC, CCRN
“Dr. Barnett is an inspiration to everyone she works with. Her style is simple; she leads from the front. Whether it’s seeing patients in the ED or creating better systems for the hospital, Dr. Barnett is a role model for all of us to follow.”
-Jeremy M. Rose, MD, MPH
Susan Bressman, MD, our Site Chair for Neurology
“Dr. Bressman has been an incredible role model and teacher; she has boundless curiosity about and enthusiasm for neurology. She has a warm bedside manner and quickly earns her patients’ trust, and she has a keen eye for phenomenology in movement disorders. Her optimism and excitement are infectious. She really is an exemplary physician–a humanistic clinician, rigorous and creative investigator, and nurturing teacher.”
-Matthew Swan, MD
“She is an inspiration to me. Although she is a specialist, she treats her patients as though she was their primary care doctor; she wants to help them with all their concerns and listens very carefully to their needs. When patients come here, they leave feeling better just from spending time with her in a room, and that takes an extraordinary type of individual.”
-Yajaira M. Felipe
“Dr. Bressman is a brilliant clinician who is creative in both her clinical work and her research. Her humble and compassionate approach to patient care inspires me and all those around her to be better clinicians. I am reminded daily how fortunate I am to learn and work with her.”
-Vicki Lynn Shanker, MD
