Thousands of PTs to continue to benefit from major investment in medical imaging from the Kimel family

Sinai Health System has announced a new $5 million investment in medical imaging by Warren and Debbie Kimel and Ron and Vanessa Kimel and their respective families. Over the past decade, they have invested a total of $24 million in innovative imaging equipment and facilities, a medical discipline that touches nearly every one of our patients.Medical Imaging continues to reshape the way care is delivered in an academic hospital setting. With nearly 200,000 medical imaging procedures conducted annually, over 95% of Sinai Health System’s Mount Sinai Hospital’s patients are benefiting from newer, more precise imaging equipment and techniques which are fueling innovative diagnostic and therapeutic interventions such as interventional radiology (IR), nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, and image-guided surgery.For example, Mount Sinai performs up to fifteen Interventional Radiology procedures a day, using imaging equipment to guide tiny instruments—including specialized needles, catheters and wires – to target and treat tumours, bleeding, infections and blockages in nearly every organ system. Compared to surgical treatments, these procedures minimize incisions and organ disfigurement, reduce risk, shorten hospital stays, speed recovery, decrease costs and improve long-term health outcomes.This gift is part of Sinai Health System’s Campaign to Renew Sinai, the largest fundraising campaign in the system's history, which is helping to transform the facilities and delivery of care across the entire system and grow many of its internationally-recognized clinical and research programs."It gives us great pleasure to offer our gratitude for the exceptional care being offered at Mount Sinai. We continue to be inspired by the advances in medical imaging that are making previously unimagined treatments possible for so many patients,” said the Kimel families.“The Kimel families have been exceptional philanthropic leaders," said Joseph Mapa, President and CEO of Sinai Health System. "As a board member of the newly formed Sinai Health System, Debbie Kimel continues to inspire our community, and provide leadership as we meet the needs of our changing patient population.”
