THE ILLUSTRATION ABOVE OFFERS A VIEW OF MOUNT SINAI’S PLANNED PATIENT TOWER FROM BISCAYNE BAY.

TOGETHER, WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY

Mount Sinai Medical Center stands as a beacon of hope for thousands of patients who rely on our lifesaving, innovative treatments. We are always evolving, always striving to provide outstanding care for every patient. Very soon, we will take a significant step in Mount Sinai’s evolution with the expansion of our infrastructure to meet the ever-changing needs of our patients and community. Our planned expansion includes building a new

patient care tower with all private rooms and technologically advanced operating rooms, as

well as replacing our existing Emergency Department with 43,000 square feet of new and renovated space.

Mount Sinai is known for providing the area’s top cardiac care, including the best heart attack and heart surgery survival rates in Florida among hospitals performing the most cases. Our planned construction will make it possible to offer patients the caliber of facilities that match our expertise.

With all private rooms, many offering scenic views of Biscayne Bay, the new tower will enhance our patients’ overall experience. Our new operating rooms will feature the latest technology and surgical options – from minimally invasive to robotic procedures – in a setting that is conducive to the outstanding surgical outcomes patients have come to expect from Mount Sinai.

In addition, our plans to replace our existing Emergency Department will ensure that we are able to meet the increasing demand of our growing population and visitors to our community. Built in 1972, the Emergency Department opened at a time when there were four hospitals on Miami Beach. Mount Sinai now stands as the city’s sole medical

As the new president of the Mount Sinai Medical Center Foundation, I am pleased to be part of such an outstanding family of philanthropists who share a common commitment to the health and well-being of our community. It is because of your generosity that Mount Sinai is able to provide lifesaving care to so many people – now and in the future.

Like many people, I am always inspired by those who give unselfishly to make a difference in the lives of others. Shirley Harris is among those who understand that by giving back, we actually are enriching our own lives in immeasurable ways. She is featured in this issue of Mount Sinai Life with a spotlight on her life and her longstanding generosity to Mount Sinai and other charities that she holds dear.

Shirley was among the many donors who attended our 2013 Founders Celebration in

center, and we are taking steps to ensure that we can meet the challenges that arise in emergencies or unforeseen disasters that might befall our community.

As we plan for new construction on our main campus, we also remain committed to bringing our services closer to where many of our patients live and work. This issue of Mount Sinai Life illustrates that commitment with a feature on our plans to open a new satellite center in Sunny Isles Beach this fall. Mount Sinai Primary & Specialty Care Sunny Isles Beach will be our sixth satellite center in Miami-Dade County, making it easier and more convenient for our patients to access the excellent physicians in our medical network.

Our plans for construction and expansion follow the blueprint of our mission to provide high quality health care to our diverse community enhanced through teaching, research, charity care and financial responsibility. In the weeks and months ahead, we will share more about our plans for growth and expansion. Thank you for embracing our mission and for helping us to ensure a bright future for our medical center and our community for generations to come. We will continue to do all that we can to earn your trust and support.

December at the beautiful Fontainebleau Miami Beach. We are so grateful to everyone at the Fontainebleau for their kindness, generosity and support in helping us plan such a grand evening. The Founders Celebration included an inspiring speech by Board of Trustees Chairman Wayne E. Chaplin, who shared information about plans for Mount Sinai’s new patient tower, operating rooms and Emergency Department. The evening culminated with performances by the legendary Gloria Gaynor and The Spinners. A gallery of photos from the celebration is included in this issue of Mount Sinai Life.

This issue also spotlights our participation in Key to the Cure, a charitable initiative hosted by Saks Fifth Avenue Bal Harbour to fight women’s cancers. This is the second year that we have participated in Key to the Cure. Once

again, the Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center was the beneficiary of a percentage of the proceeds from sales at Saks Fifth Avenue Bal Harbour during this event, as well as sales of the limited edition Key to the Cure T-shirt, and we are extremely grateful.

Saks Fifth Avenue, the Fontainebleau and Shirley Harris are prime examples of community conscious organizations and individuals extending themselves in a way that benefits our medical center. I look forward to working with all of our friends and supporters throughout my tenure as Foundation president. Together, we can take our Foundation to even greater heights.

Shirley Harris has the kind of wit and wisdom that comes with age and years of hard-won experience. “I’ve been around the block,” she declares with a smile. “Not once, but a few times.”

At her age, she calls it the way she sees it, even when describing her own circumstances. “Old age is a rough, rough game,” she once told a reporter. “But that’s life.” And, Shirley’s is a life well lived. She’s a generous philanthropist, who counts Mount Sinai Medical Center Foundation among the organizations that she supports.

A native New Yorker, Shirley has been a member of Mount Sinai’s philanthropic family since 1997. At the time, she and her late husband, Nathan Goldwasser, were winter residents. Nathan had knee surgery at Mount Sinai, and they were so pleased with the outcome that they made a gift to the hospital and had each of their Founders plaques placed in the rehabilitation waiting room.

“The rehab staff was so wonderful to Nathan,” she says. “They treated him so well. My plaque reads that I dedicated the waiting room so that when people came there, they would be treated nicely, and my husband dedicated his plaque to me.”

Shirley, who officially retired in 1983 and became a full-time Miami Beach resident in September 2012, is a member of the Founders of Mount Sinai, the Society of Mount Sinai and the Legacy Circle. A self-made businesswoman, she earned a bachelor’s degree at Hunter College and a law degree at New York University. In the 1960s, she and her first husband owned a chain of women’s clothing stores.

In 1954, Shirley discovered she had a knack for playing the stock market. After taking a few classes, she developed an eye for selecting companies that showed potential for long-term growth. She is now considered a mutual fund unto herself and offers counsel to a few special friends at no charge. As Shirley’s fortunes grew,

SHIRLEY HARRISAN ASTUTE BUSINESS WOMAN OF PRINCIPLE AND HEARTFELT GENEROSITY

so did her charitable endeavors. Over the years, she has been a devoted supporter of many civic and philanthropic associations, such as the Diabetes Research Foundation; New York-Presbyterian Hospital; Harvard University; Yale University; the Dartmouth Club; Miami Children’s Hospital; Miami Jewish Health Systems; and many others.

Earlier this year, Mount Sinai created a dedication wall in the first floor lobby of the Simon Medical Office Building in honor of Shirley’s most recent gift to the hospital.

“Shirley is an amazing woman with a generous heart,” said Steven D. Sonenreich, president and chief executive officer of Mount Sinai. “She truly is an inspiration.”

As successful as she is today, Shirley has endured her share of rough patches and heartbreak, and she’s done so with characteristic tenacity and grace. She was faced with tragedy when her first husband, Jack Harris, died leaving her to raise their 1-year-old son alone. She sold their business and opened her own office as a representative for Allied Department Stores of Georgia. Shirley also put her son through Harvard University and Harvard Law by adhering to a dedicated program of self-sacrifice.

“I struggled,” she says, sharing that she would make a can of tuna last for two days’ worth of lunches. “And things were cheaper then.”

She says her desire to help others grew out of the many struggles she’s endured in her own life, including the death of her son, Jay David Harris, at age 31 and the loss of her brother in a train crash on the eve of Thanksgiving in 1950.

“I survived these losses, and it made me stronger and more understanding,” she says.

Shirley didn’t just survive, she flourished and she continues to find purpose in her life through the groups that she supports. She loves being in the company of friends and attending events hosted by her favorite charities, noting with that ever-present smile, “I enjoy a good party.”

EXPANDING ACCESSFOR OUR COMMUNITYMOUNT SINAI PRIMARY & SPECIALTY CARE SUNNY ISLES BEACH WILL OPEN THIS FALL

MOUNT SINAI PRIMARY & SPECIALTY CARE SUNNY ISLES BEACH WILL OCCUPY THE SIXTH FLOOR OF THIS NEW BUILDING UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT 323 SUNNY ISLES BOULEVARD

With an eye toward giving more people convenient access to excellent medical care, Mount Sinai Medical Center is further expanding its presence in Miami-Dade County – this time with a new satellite center in Sunny Isles Beach.

Mount Sinai Primary & Specialty Care Sunny Isles Beach will be located at 323 Sunny Isles Blvd. in a seven-story building now under construction. The center will occupy the sixth floor of the new building and offer primary care services, led by Dr.

Joshua Gizersky, as well as cardiology and urology services. Steven D. Sonenreich, president and chief executive officer of Mount Sinai, was among the speakers during a ceremony in December to celebrate the construction of the new building.

“All of us at Mount Sinai congratulate the city of Sunny Isles Beach on its continued growth and development as the ideal destination for new residents and tourists,” Sonenreich said. “While we have had a presence in Aventura for many years, this

new satellite center will give residents of Sunny Isles Beach and the surrounding community easier access to our physicians and the specialized care and services that we provide.”

Sunny Isles Beach Mayor Norman S. Edelcup also was on hand for the celebration. “Sunny Isles Beach has an A-rated school, magnificent parks and now will have high quality health care worthy of our world-class status,” Mayor Edelcup said. “This partnership is the final piece to complete the renaissance from a tourist destination to a world-class city.”

CHOOSING A HEALTH CLUB?

NO SWEAT!

IF YOU’RE LIKE MOST OF US,YOUR MOMENT OF TRUTHCAME WHILE YOU WERELOOKING IN THE MIRROR.You want to look trimmer and firmer. But when you join a health club and begin an exercise routine, you’ll also be cutting your risk of heart attack and stroke, reducing stress, strengthening your bones, sharpening your mind, boosting your energy, flexibility and stamina and improving your mood.

So where will you huff and puff? You can find options in the phone book, online or get them from friends. Many clubs offer a free trial period – this gives you a chance to take a class, ask other members about their experience and determine whether the club is right for you. Before you start shopping around, get clearance from your doctor to begin a regular exercise routine. Once you have your doctor’s blessings, the next step is to select the club that’s right for you, using the following considerations as your guide:

What tocheck whenlookingfor a placeto get inshape

• CONVENIENCE. Select a facility with plenty of parking that’s near your home or office. If it’s a hassle to get to your club, it will be too easy to find excuses not to go. And remember, experts say, you must exercise at least three times a week for a minimum of 20 minutes. Otherwise, you won’t get the full benefits.

• FACILITIES. Visit health clubs at the time of day when you’re most likely to use them, and consider your needs. Is a swimming pool essential? Treadmills that display calories burned? Make sure locker rooms and showers are clean and pleasant. Check what exercise equipment is available, how well it’s maintained and whether there’s a waiting line to use it.

• STAFF. Is there a personal trainer on the floor at all times to answer questions? It’s important to pick a gym with fitness instructors who know about exercise physiology. They’ll help you use the right equipment for your needs in a safe, effective way.

• SERVICES. Ask to see a schedule of classes. How many free training sessions come with a membership, and how much do additional ones cost? Are an initial evaluation and a custom-designed workout prepared for you? Is child care available?

• COSTS...and your comfort level. Be realistic about what you can spend. Month-to-month memberships may be available, but you’ll probably get a lower rate if you make a year-long commitment to have dues automatically charged to a credit card. Be clear on what’s included – such as towel and locker use. Is there a money-back guarantee if, after a time, you’re not satisfied? Or an escape clause if you move?

You should make a realistic assessment of your fitness level. If you’re 55 and out of shape, you might not feel comfortable in a gym that caters mostly to 25-year-olds who are training to be Olympians.

Your careful choice can be the beginning of a new commitment to fitness that will pay off handsomely. Once you’ve chosen a facility, use it!
