"Mount Sinai Health System’s 33rd Annual Crystal Party" - Jeffrey Hirsh

Mount Sinai Health System celebrated excellence in research, patient care, and education at its 33^rd annual Crystal Party on Thursday, May 3. More than 1,200 guests, including health system leadership, staff, and supporters, gathered at the Central Park Conservatory Garden. The event raised nearly $4 million. Special guest speakers were Jeannie and Jim Gaffigan. Jeannie Gaffigan, who, with her husband, is the co-writer of “The Jim Gaffigan Show,” was successfully treated for a large and rare brain tumor by Mount Sinai’s Chair of Neurosurgery, Joshua B. Bederson, MD, who used augmented reality and navigation technology in the operating room. “Mount Sinai Health System has made significant advances in patient care and research, as demonstrated by Jeannie Gaffigan’s remarkable story,” said Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and CEO of the Mount Sinai Health System. “We’re thankful for our exceptional trustees who have generously supported our strategic plan and for our supporters who enable us to foster innovations like these.”
