A third-party software outage is impacting computer systems worldwide, including at Mount Sinai Health System. Patient safety remains our top priority. All appointments today remain as planned unless you hear from us. We will notify you if your non-urgent appointment or procedure needs to be rescheduled due to the global technology outage. We are thankful to our staff who are working to ensure care continues with minimal interruption.

This Wednesday, we invited our community and teams across Mount Sinai Queens to "come be a superhero" and learn about CPR and participate in a training exercise. This CPR class was designed to teach the “core skills” of CPR: pushing on the chest (compressions) and breathing for the victim (ventilations), recognizing the emergency, checking the victim for signs of circulation, and calling 911. Thank you to all who participated! #CPR #CPRAwareness #WeFindAWay

We are excited to announce that Cameron R. Hernandez, MD, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer at Mount Sinia Queens, was included in this year’s 50 Ideas for a Stronger and More Equitable Queens by the Center for an Urban Future and the Elmezzi Foundation, which features his idea for supporting migrants seeking asylum in New York City as well as the borough’s future, along with ideas from 49 other leaders from across Queens. Queens is New York’s borough of opportunity. Even so, it is hard not to note the challenges that many Queens residents face. Despite the borough’s diverse economy and bustling commercial districts, there is still work to be done to capitalize on the borough’s many opportunities and ensure that a lot more Queens residents can get ahead.
