Mount Sinai Morningside, in collaboration with Mount Sinai South Nassau, participated in Harlem Week’s “A Great Day in Harlem” event on Sunday, August 8, at the Ulysses S. Grant National Memorial.
In partnership with One Hundred Black Men, Mount Sinai premiered a series of videos featuring members of the community and local celebrities encouraging people to protect themselves and their loved ones against COVID-19 by getting vaccinated.
“Thanks to Mount Sinai South Nassau’s vaccination mobile unit—the Vaxmobile—and the incredible staff from Mount Sinai Morningside, we were able to engage residents of Harlem in conversations about the vaccine, and we even provided the vaccine onsite to those ready to roll up their sleeves,” said Amy Bush, Director, Volunteer Services, Mount Sinai Morningside. “In line with the mission of the event, we were honored to have the opportunity to educate attendees, and also give hope to Harlem by spreading immunity in the community.”
