Phillips School of Nursing graduates at Stern Auditorium at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Many people may not know the Phillips School of Nursing at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. They are an integral part of our health system, providing three excellent nursing programs for our community.
Last weekend the School held commencement where we celebrated 55 new graduates. One of those graduates is our very own, Selah Gaznabi, who is a pharmacy tech at Petrie. Congratulations, Selah!
Two other graduates are children of our very own MSBI family members. Alegria Morales, a nurse in ECT, celebrated her son, Kristoffer’s graduation, and Carol Rindler, a nurse on our IV team, celebrated her daughter, Samantha’s graduation. Both of these women have been at MSBI for over 30 years, and their passion for nursing has clearly rubbed off on their children.
Kristoffer Kyle Morales with his mom, Alegria Morales, RN at MSBI for over 30 years.
Samantha Rindler and her parents, Andrew Rindler, and Carol Rindler, RN at MSBI for over 30 years.
Samantha Rindler was also awarded the Rose M. Hauer Award of the Alumni Association for Outstanding Contributions to the School. Her peers voted for her to receive this award.

Mount Sinai Beth Israel has a rich history of addiction care. We were pioneers in methadone maintenance treatment. We still have the largest network of opioid treatment programs in the country, and this kind of care is becoming increasingly important.
All of our Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) do incredible work, and today I want to focus on our Gouverneur Clinic. I am thankful for everything they do to connect with and build up their patients.
Our OTPs are very connected with our entire Downtown network. The PA and social worker at Gouverneur connect patients with the medical care they need outside of the clinic. Recently Ariane Aubourg, PA, helped patients get hepatitis treatment through a study that was offered by researchers at MSBI.
Often, our patients need more than medicine. This clinic runs many groups each week so their patients can unite with peers sharing the same struggles. Their counselors strive to develop personal relationships with each patient and spend a lot of time following up on their needs.
Every three months, they host recovery events where their patients get creative and share their stories through skits and music led by counselor, Angela Blair-Adams. The arts can be incredibly healing. In the fall, this clinic expanded Recovery Day and worked with many of our OTP locations to present and uplifting program at Union Square.
The Gouverneur clinic is just one example of how our OTP employees have created a family. I know their patients are thankful, and so am I.

Our community depends on us 24/7, rain, shine, or snow. Yesterday, many of you went to great lengths to get here in the snow storm. Many of you also put in extra hours to ensure that our patients remained safe. I can’t thank you enough for being there for your patients. Here are some pictures of our staff across many of our locations who braved the storm yesterday.
You always go the extra mile to deliver great patient care, but what amazes me even more is how you all take care of each other. Our chef and kitchen staff prepared two meals for employees on top of everything else they do for patients. The tamales were delicious and the company kept us warm. Our patient care services, EVS, and transformation teams made sure that MSBI employees had a place to sleep if they couldn’t get home or they worked extra hours. Our engineering team worked around the clock to keep us warm and safe. Thank you all for taking care of your colleagues.
