Thanks to all of our staff who worked through the heat and the holiday this week. Mount Sinai Beth Israel Engineers worked hard to cool of our building and our patients. Below are a few photos of our staff celebrating and working through the heat.

Have you seen this MSBI-famous and Instagram-famous dog before?
That’s Louboutina (@Louboutinanyc), NYC’s famous hugging dog and her owner, Cesar Fernandez-Chavez, who is the language and interpreter services coordinator at MSBI. He is an energetic part of the MSBI family and he recently reached out when he was in need.
On Christmas Day, Cesar’s Chelsea apartment burned down and he lost everything. Our MSBI family banded together to help him find a temporary place to stay and his Instagram community raised funds to help him recover his life and belongings. Cesar took some time off to be with family and here’s what he says about returning to MSBI:
“There was a warm welcome when I went back on the floors. I was reminded of why I do what I do. This community is my family.”
Here is a photo of Louboutina with some of our physicians earlier this week:

Earlier this month, we welcomed members of our behavioral health team to the newly-refreshed unit on 8 Bernstein. Based on extensive staff feedback and brainstorming, we had the opportunity to redesign the work areas and to cosmetically improve the entire unit. I want to thank our exceptional engineering department for the high standard of professionalism and expertise that they brought to this effort.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 8 included music by music therapy research fellow Gabrielle Bouissou, MS, MT-BC, and a blessing by Rabbi Gabriel Kretzmer-Seed, Chaplain Resident. Psychiatry Chair Grant Mitchell, MD, and Nurse Manager Liz Metz, RN, also spoke. The ceremony concluded with the cutting of the ribbon by Sara Lopez-Rivera, RN, BC, Senior Nurse for inpatient behavioral health and MSBI employee for over 20 years.

Earlier this week we held service awards to honor our hundreds of employees who have been at MSBI for 20 years or more. In order to accommodate so many people, the events were held over two days in the Podell Conference Center and also in perioperative administration. And, God bless our amazing food and nutrition services and engineering teams who took such good care of us at the events!
There were so many highlights. One that stands out for me was the opportunity to present Lola Chlupsa with a service award for her 55 years of MSBI service and pride! The whole event felt like a giant family reunion as people who shared so much history connected and reconnected.
President Dr. Jeremy Boal, MD, and Lola Chlupsa who has worked at Mount Sinai Beth Israel for 55 years.
The kind of dedication you all have shown throughout your careers and your resilience through everything that has changed at MSBI over the years truly inspires me. I spoke with many of you at the event who remarked that you stayed here because MSBI is family. I certainly feel that and I want to thank you for welcoming so many of us, including me, into that family.
