We spent this whole week celebrating our dedicated, highly skilled, and profoundly compassionate nurses that serve our entire Mount Sinai Beth Israel community.
As a part of this celebration, we attended the Beatrice Renfield Circle of Excellence Nursing Awards Ceremony on Wednesday to honor our many outstanding nurses, and where our Chief Nursing Officer, Christine Mahoney put it best:
“At some point in our lives each of us will encounter a nurse, whether it be as a patient, or as a family member of a loved one. And that one encounter can mean the difference between suffering and peace; between chaos and order. Nurses matter.”
It is true that our more than 1000 nurses are the backbone of MSBI, and they change lives daily through their excellence, empathy, professionalism, and comradery. Thank you!
Aside from being awe-inspiring caregivers and colleagues, our nurses are talented and love to have fun. This week we celebrated with ceremony, educational events, food, music, dancing, and dogs. Click the album below to see photos of the festivities.
