I have had the opportunity to speak to many of you over the past two weeks about my recent decision to leave Mount Sinai Beth Israel. This was not a decision I took lightly as our incredible team has become like a second family to me. I am staying on until January 2017 so we still have many weeks to work together and, even after, I will still proudly watch the work that you all do to transform the Downtown network and our great hospital.
I am so pleased that my colleague – and friend –Jeremy Boal, MD, has been named as my replacement and President of Mount Sinai Downtown. In this role, Dr. Boal will oversee the creation and implementation of Mount Sinai Downtown, which includes a new Mount Sinai Beth Israel (MSBI) and an enhanced New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai.
With nearly two decades of experience in patient care and hospital management, I know he will be an exceptional leader. Please click here to learn more about Dr. Boal. We will both be making the rounds and hosting town halls to introduce him to our incredible team of staff and providers. I know you will enjoy working with him and look forward to helping make this a smooth transition.
