On a beautiful Saturday morning in April, more than 100 Mount Sinai Heart employees, including faculty, fellows, nurses, and staff , along with their families, participated in the 5th Annual 5k Run for Fun & Yoga in Central Park. Organized by Annapoorna S. Kini, MD, Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at The Mount Sinai Hospital, and the Zena and Michael A. Wiener Professor of Medicine, the run took place around the Central Park Reservoir and was followed by a 30-minute yoga session on the East Meadow Lawn led by Dr. Kini, pictured above. “As cardiovascular specialists, we encourage our patients to exercise in order to live the longest and healthiest lives possible,” says Dr. Kini. “As health care providers, we need to ensure that we remain active and lead heart-healthy lives ourselves. We have made it a priority to lead by example, and we look forward to keeping this tradition going on an annual basis.”
