"What makes Mount Sinai special is our commitment to recruit and retain the best people to deliver our mission of clinical care, education and research.  Our board and management support the vision of excellence by making this recruitment possible, and then get out of the way of the experts and professionals so they can "do their thing".  The board is especially important in making this all happen by giving their financial support, their willingness to persuade governments at all levels, their generous donation of extensive amounts of time, and most importantly their unwavering and relentless devotion to the contribution mount Sinai makes to our community as a whole.  The support of our board and the excellent decisions they have made over the last 85 years has (and hopefully will continue to be) what makes us special." - Dr. Allan Detsky, Physician-in-Chief, General Internal Medicine
