I recently had the chance to sit down with Minimol Shebeen, RN, who is our Assistant Director of Perioperative Services and a 2017-2018 Heart Award recipient. She is admired by her staff and so many others around the hospital, and you’ll see why in this video. Mini...

This week I had the pleasure of attending The Wonderful World of Music, a fundraiser benefitting the Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine (LACMM) at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. It was a world-class event for our world-class music therapy program and I was happy...
