New York, NY(August 07, 2019) — The Mount Sinai Health System—New York City’s largest integrated delivery system, encompassing eight hospitals, a leading medical school, and a vast network of ambulatory practices throughout the greater New York region—celebrated six female honorees recognized in Crain’s 2019 “Notable Women in Healthcare.” The list, in its second year, recognizes leaders in “an industry uniquely shaped by women.”
“We couldn’t be prouder of this year’s Mount Sinai honorees, who encompass a wide cross-section of experts in medicine. This is an extraordinary honor, but it only tells a small part of the story of what these outstanding female leaders do to change lives—and transform an industry—each and every day,” said Kenneth L. Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Mount Sinai Health System. “This list was designed to spotlight individuals who are moving health care towards gender equity, and the honorees truly do just that. We’re proud of the work we’ve done —but recognize that there is more progress to make and more work to do. Our entire Health System congratulates these six women on their exceptional accomplishments.”
