The Center for Stress, Resilience, and Personal Growth recently hosted a luncheon for the Mount Sinai Hospital security staff, honoring them for their vital role in keeping staff, visitors, and patients within The Mount Sinai Health System safe. More than 50 staff members and supervisors attended the event on Friday, April 29, at the Leon and Norma Hess Center for Science and Medicine on The Mount Sinai Hospital campus.

“This work became even more important and challenging throughout the COVID-19 pandemic; and every day, they do the hard and emotionally challenging work of managing very tense and upsetting situations,” says the Rev. Zorina Costello, DMin, MS, Director of Community Engagement for the Center for Stress, Resilience, and Personal Growth and the Center for Spirituality and Health.

The luncheon is part of a broader effort by the Center to support the emotional well-being and resilience of security staff, says Deborah B. Marin, MD, Director of the Center for Stress, Resilience, and Personal Growth.
