Mount Sinai West’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) now features more family-friendly décor and an upgraded nursing station thanks to a gift from the former St. Luke’s and Roosevelt (SLR) Associate Trustees. The group, which existed from 1994 to 2014, made the gift in January 2015, and—after the project was completed—gathered for a recent dedication ceremony at the NICU. The SLR Associate Trustees consisted of members of the SLR community who volunteered, hosted fundraisers, and served as advocates on behalf of the hospitals for more than 20 years. The group provided significant support for Mount Sinai West and Mount Sinai St. Luke’s, and made a recent contribution to the Child and Family Institute at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s.
