The holidays are a time to celebrate family. At Sinai Hospital, we?re part of a large family of dedicated health care providers, which is why we wanted to look back and highlight some of the accomplishments of 2010.
While this list is by no means exhaustive, some of the year?s highlights included:
Additionally, Sinai Hospital President Neil Meltzer concluded being the chairman of the American Heart Association and was appointed the U.S. Government Accountability Office's National Health Care Workforce Commission.
We are looking forward to tackling 2011 with the vigor and dedication that makes us special. May the next year be healthy and happy for you and your family!
