OCEANSIDE, NY — Mount Sinai South Nassau raised more than $1 million, making it the most successful fundraiser for the hospital.

A portion of proceeds from the 2023 Soirée Under the Stars will offset Mount Sinai South Nassau's investment in a $10 million upgrade of its comprehensive stroke program.

"We are very grateful to our honorees, the Soiree Co-Chairs, our major sponsors, and all who attended and helped us reach our goal," said Dr. Adhi Sharma, President of Mount Sinai South Nassau. "The funds will be well spent to help improve care in our region."
