Gayrleen Friedman
As a hospitalist at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, I was always impressed by the professional demeanor and agility of Gayrleen Friedman. A unit secretary, she supported COVID-19 units, and she did so admirably. Her nurse manager, Leonie Taylor, recently retired, but she told me she could not have survived the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic without Gayrleen’s assistance. “In times of extreme crisis,” she says, “Gayrleen provided stability and reassurance. And I recently found out that Gayrleen’s 23rd anniversary with MSBI was in December. We are lucky to have such a loyal team member.”
