Raquel and Jaime Gilinski
In visionary support for women’s health, the Mount Sinai Health System has received a multimillion-dollar commitment from Raquel and Jaime Gilinski for the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Science at The Mount Sinai Hospital.
The gift is being given in honor of Michael Brodman, MD, who for 19 years has served with distinction as the Ellen and Howard C. Katz Chairman’s Chair in Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Mrs. Gilinski, who serves on the Board of Trustees at Mount Sinai, and her family, have an enduring history of philanthropic support around women’s health at Mount Sinai under Dr. Brodman’s leadership.
“I am honored and thankful to Raquel and Jaime for their ongoing support and advocacy for women’s health at Mount Sinai,” Dr. Brodman says. “This gift will ensure that we continue to offer women and their families excellent care in a modern and comfortable environment”.
Oversight and implementation of the gift will be managed by Joanne L. Stone, MD, Director of the Maternal Fetal Medicine and Fellowship program for the Mount Sinai Health System, Vice Chair for Diversity and Inclusion of the OB/GYN Department, and immediate past President of the Faculty Council. Dr. Stone, a world-renowned physician-scientist with special expertise in women’s health and fetal imaging, will succeed Dr. Brodman as Chair effective January 1, 2022.
“We are ever so grateful for the tremendous gift that the Gilinskis have made to champion women’s health at Mount Sinai. Their visionary support will allow us to build upon Mount Sinai’s legacy of providing comprehensive care, research, and advocacy to women for generations to come,” says Dr. Stone.
This generous gift will establish the Raquel and Jaime Gilinski Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science at Mount Sinai. The new gift will support capital projects and renovations to elevate care and services in women’s health at The Mount Sinai Hospital.
“As the torch of leadership is passed from Dr. Brodman to Dr. Stone, we remain committed to the outstanding work of Mount Sinai in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology that will ultimately lead to more comprehensive care and positive outcomes for women,” says Mrs. Gilinski.
