In Their Corner started at one hospital on the South Shore of Long Island, and the goal is a rack in the family waiting room of every ICU in the region. Here is where we started and where we hope to go.

This is the hospital our guide was written for, minutes from Rockville Centre. It is a 455 bed teaching hospital, the Long Island flagship of the Mount Sinai Health System, and the only American College of Surgeons verified trauma center on Nassau County's South Shore. Its nurses have earned Magnet recognition, the highest national honor for nursing care. The hospital is currently building the Feil Family Pavilion, which will add 40 new intensive and critical care beds and double its critical care footprint. Our first goal is a printed rack of In Their Corner guides in this hospital's ICU waiting room.
