Even if you feel healthy, a yearly wellness exam is an important step in staying that way. Your primary care provider reviews your lifestyle, medical history, and family history, and helps ensure you’re up to date on recommended screenings and vaccinations. It’s also a valuable opportunity to build a relationship with a provider who understands your health and can help catch potential issues early. Taking time for your annual exam today can help protect your health for years to come.

At Mount Sinai, our nurses see every day the profound impact that organ, eye and tissue donation has on patients and their families. Supporting the donation process and encouraging donor registration is part of our commitment to compassionate care and community support. For example, Mount Sinai nurses work in collaboration with The Eye-Bank for Sight Restoration to fulfill the wishes of individuals who want to restore sight and hope to their fellow New Yorkers by becoming eye donors. The choice to donate touches lives in a unique, lasting way. November is Eye Donation Month. We encourage everyone to consider signing up on the New York State Donate Life America Registry and to share their decision with family—because through this selfless act, we continue to spread light, hope, and healing.
