These records were received over time from the Office of Carol Porter, originally Vice President of Nursing at The Mount Sinai Hospital starting in September 2005 and then becoming the Chief Nursing Officer/Senior Vice President, Nursing and Patient Care Services in December 2007. With the merger with Continuum Health Partners in 2013, the title became Chief Nursing Officer and Senior Vice President, Department of Nursing. Carol Porter left Mount Sinai in early March 2016. She was replaced by Frances Cartwright, PhD, RN-BC, AOCN. There are files here from both tenures.

This series includes the records of the Office of Public Relations up to 1966 when Beryl Reubens was hired. There are records from when the following people were in charge of the function: Roman Slobodin (1942-44), Edith Behrens (1944), Leon Jacobson (19?-1962), Shel Sukoff (1962-?) and Jan Tyroler (1964-65).

There are many interesting aspects to this collection, including how it demonstrates the role of the Trustees in the life of the Hospital as well as how the functions of publicity and fund raising were handled. Initially combined, these two duties were separated in 1967 when the first full-time Director of Development was hired. Other strengths are the light the papers shed on the Hospital during World War II, and how the Hospital described itself through its publications and press activities. There are interesting glimpses of important Mount Sinai scientists as the Public Relations Office interviewed and researched them for their press efforts.

This is a hybrid electronic and paper collection. The series contains the multi-volume application material that was put together by The Mount Sinai Hospital Department of Nursing for the American Nurses Credentialing Center reviewers for their visits from 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2018.
