It has already been an exciting start to the year for our South of 34th Street network. Union Square opened two brand new suites last month.
In one of these suites on the second floor is our Union Square cardiology team, now known as Mount Sinai Heart. The multi-disciplinary ambulatory practice will offer care for coronary heart disease, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and many other conditions as well as access to electrophysiology, interventional cardiology and other procedures. Their new suite is beautiful and has been bustling with patients the past few weeks.
Mount Sinai Heart’s practice administrator, Yelena Fuzaylova, returned to Union Square last year. During her prior time here she spent nine years in the department of surgery and then left to explore other opportunities. After a few months away, she realized her heart was here.
“The people here are great. MSBI folks are down-to-earth and approachable. It feels like a family,” Yelena said.
We are thrilled to have her back and even more thrilled that she and her team have such a beautiful new space.
Last week, we also celebrated “Go Red for Women” to bring awareness to heart disease. Wonderful employees from many departments joined together and hosted a fair that featured CPR instruction, healthy snacks, dietary coaching, cholesterol readings, and more. Check out our staff in red below.
