A team from Mount Sinai took to the West Side piers on Saturday, June 11, for a two-mile walk in support of the American Liver Foundation.
Some 20 Mount Sinai faculty members, staff, patients, and loved ones participated in the American Liver Life Walk, which began at Pier 84 near West 42nd Street and proceeded to Pier 62 at West 22nd Street before looping back around. The walk raises funds and awareness of liver disease prevention and research.
“This is the first time in recent years that Mount Sinai has participated, and having raised over $16,000 is simply amazing,” says Douglas Dieterich, MD, Professor of Medicine (Liver Diseases) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “Our contribution supports the American Liver Foundation’s mission and will help save lives by preventing and curing liver diseases.”
