Mount Sinai Launches Television Series on CUNY TV
September episode is a special edition highlighting “medical miracles”
The Mount Sinai Health System has launched a new television series called Mount Sinai Future You, featuring clinicians, researchers, and patients discussing how innovations in science, medicine, and new models of care are changing the course of health care. The broadcast takes viewers behind the scenes at the Mount Sinai Health System, which is on the forefront of research and discoveries that are advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human disease.
September’s episode features the story of Linda Rosen, a painter from New Jersey, who formed a special bond with her neurosurgeon, Joshua Bederson, MD, Chair of Neurosurgery at the Mount Sinai Health System. Dr. Bederson, who removed a frontal lobe tumor the size of a baseball from Ms. Rosen, is a fellow artist and sculptor. Following treatment, Ms. Rosen says, her artwork was transformed and the colors she used on the canvas changed from muted tones to vibrant ones. She and Dr. Bederson invite us into their art studios and discuss their paintings and sculptures.
Other stories highlight a pediatric surgeon’s use of new forms of chemotherapy to save a young boy’s life, the efforts of a team of doctors to promote heart health worldwide, a cardiologist’s research into ancient mummies, a legendary basketball coach’s emotional journey to defy cancer and attend her hall of fame induction ceremony, and new treatments for diabetes patients.
“The broadcast highlights innovations, from preventive medicine to treatments, that are leading to improved health outcomes, and ultimately, a more fulfilling life,” said Dorie Klissas, Vice President of Marketing and Communications of the Mount Sinai Health System and Senior Associate Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
The Mount Sinai Health System is one of the nation’s largest integrated health systems, with seven hospitals, a renowned medical school—the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai—and a growing ambulatory network. The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, with a long record of achievement in breakthrough science and clinical care, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018.
Mount Sinai Future You is broadcast on CUNY TV, the non-commercial educational-access cable channel run by The City University of New York. Each 30-minute episode will run in the first week of the month, with re-runs scheduled for later dates. The next episode will air on Wednesday, September 5, at 9:30 p.m. EDT.
