“I would like to highlight Carrie Fuller, Physical Therapy Assistant, of the Rehabilitation Medicine Department at Mount Sinai West. She has consistently demonstrated Mount Sinai’s values in her more than 10 years here. Compassion is easily one of her most recognizable strengths. Although this is a common trait in our department, Carrie stands out. She has a genuine kindness to her words, intentions, and actions. She provides thoughtful care from start to finish and supports patients, their families and other staff.
When a patient with an ambiguous support system suffered a long, complex hospitalization, Carrie continued to treat and care for him for several months and was a steadfast advocate for his physical, mental, emotional, and social needs. She has unparalleled professional involvement outside of our department. Her dedication was recently recognized by the New York Physical Therapy Association’s PTA Excellence award for being a role model and inspiration to patients/clients, peers, and students. She has certainly been a role model for us; her skill and flexibility permit her to cover various areas of the hospital, even when unexpected changes occur. We are grateful for her daily efforts and contributions to our patients, our department, and our profession.”
