Mount Sinai Doctors Urgent Care Inwood hosted its second annual Spooktacular Halloween House on Friday, October 28, for 200 neighborhood children. They created masks inspired by the Mexican holiday Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and visited a photo booth to have their pictures taken in costume. After the event, the children trick-or-treated at more than 40 businesses in the Urgent Care Inwood building. The facility is one of three Mount Sinai Doctors Urgent Care practices in New York City that treats patients with non-life-threatening illness or injury.

The Mount Sinai Health System recently honored the first recipients of the Cullman Family Award for Excellence in Physician-Patient Communication. The 42 clinicians who were celebrated ranked in the top 1 percent nationally in provider communication in 2015 as measured by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services CG-CAHPS patient experience survey. Mount Sinai Trustees Susan Cullman and Edgar M. Cullman, Jr., joined Health System leadership in presenting the awards on Wednesday, September 21, at 150 E. 42nd Street. “Dad was always concerned about how the patient felt when he or she walked into the hospital or the doctor’s office. It can be a scary and unsettling experience, and he wanted to help make that experience as positive and thoughtful as possible,” Ms. Cullman said, speaking of her father, the late Edgar M. Cullman, Sr., who was a Mount Sinai Trustee for more than 50 years. “You obviously do that exceptionally well. We and, more importantly, your patients thank you.” To see a list of the award winners go to: www.mountsinai.org/static_files/MSHL/Files/Fall.pdf
