Part of Collection of Mount Sinai Hospital-related oral histories

Alfred R. Stern served as Chairman of the three Boards of Trustees of Mount Sinai from 1977 to 1985 (the Medical Center, the Hospital and the Medical School). He explains the leadership structure of the institution, and how and why it changed over time, and discuses some of the strengths of Mount Sinai, “town and gown” tensions, and funding difficulties on State and Federal levels. He describes Gus Levy’s personality and working style. He adds some of his background growing up in Chicago area, shares some of the family history and stories, his business dealings in broadcasting (NBC radio & TV) and in cable, which he sold to Warner Communications, before moving onto work in another business. Finally, he touches on his hobbies and interests and his children.
