The pop music classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water” took on an added message of hope and resilience at Mount Sinai’s 22nd annual National Cancer Survivors Day® luncheon when sung soulfully by Marie Mazziotti, an accomplished musician who is also a breast cancer survivor. During her performance, Ms. Mazziotti expressed thanks for the guidance of her physician, Susan K. Boolbol, MD, Associate Professor, Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
The event, held in June at Stern Auditorium, included a half-dozen speakers and was attended by 150 cancer survivors, their families and friends, and Mount Sinai Health System faculty and staff . “The journey to wellness continues long after treatment is complete,” said Kenneth Rosenzweig, MD, Professor and Chair of Radiation Oncology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “Events such as Survivors Day are crucial to guide the community to complete physical, emotional, and spiritual health.”
