“Zara Krilov, PT, and Tatiana Herrera, OT, of the Department of Rehabilitation and Human Performance at Mount Sinai Morningside, went above and beyond the call of duty by demonstrating compassion, patience and empathy for a patient who had a prolonged stay in the Intensive Care Unit and had previously been depressed, anxious, and not motivated to get out of bed or participate in therapy. Their efforts—including a hair wash and detangling—were successful in positively impacting this patient’s functional progress and emotional state.”
