| Among this year's milestones are the opening of the Leon and Norma Hess Center for Science and Medicine, a 500,000 square foot, state of the art research center, and an adjacent mixed-use tower for residents as well as clinicians and patients. "Both of these properties generated much-needed jobs during economically uncertain times, and will continue to do so as the labs and clinical facilities are opened and expand," said Peter W. May, Chair of The Mount Sinai Boards of Trustees. Mr. May also thanked James and Merryl Tisch for their leadership of Mount Sinai's capital campaign which will have raised over $1.4 billion by the time it concludes in 2013. |
