Submitted by Barbara Niss, Mount Sinai Archives

The Mount Sinai Archives, a division of the Gustave L. and Janet W. Levy Library of the Mount Sinai Medical Center, has developed an exhibit celebrating the 150th anniversary of The Mount Sinai Hospital. Created in conjunction with the Museum of the City of New York, The Mount Sinai Hospital, 1852-2002/Extraordinary People, Extraordinary Medicine celebrates the dynamic part the hospital has played as one of the City's leading medical facilities and research centers. This exhibit is part of the Museum's City Partners Program and is housed in the Museum's City Partner's Gallery. The exhibit opened June 1 and runs until October 6, 2002.

In addition to the exhibit, Barbara J. Niss, Mount Sinai Archivist, is also the co-author of a book that is due out in November that recounts the clinical and scientific contributions of the Mount Sinai Hospital staff over the past 150 years. This House of Noble Deeds: The Mount Sinai Hospital, 1852-2002 (NYU Press) was written with Arthur H. Aufses, Jr. MD, former chairman of Mount Sinai's Deptartment of Surgery.
