CEO's Message Christopher Mastromano | Chief Executive Officer
September 11 marks the historical anniversary of the day terrorists attacked the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, and the Pentagon, outside of Washington DC. It’s a day that we will never forget. We all carry our memories and can vividly recall when we first heard about the horrific attacks. Some of us have been impacted personally and have lost loved ones and friends. On the morning of September 11, 2022, NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi Community Advisory Board members, hospital leaders, and elected officials gathered in the Memorial Garden at the Jacobi campus in unity to commemorate the innocent lives lost during these tragic events. As I reflect on those dark times, I can say with pride that “when times are at their worst, we as a community demonstrate our best.” I also remember the courageous Fire Fighters, Police Officers, Paramedics, and the many brave Civilian souls who responded selflessly during the destruction and chaos. Let us never forget and always honor their sacrifice. In remembrance of all those we lost on 9/11, including the brave first responders from the Bronx. May we continue to be resilient in the face of adversity, remain vigilant, and always be willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Thanks to all of you, our dedicated Healthcare Heroes on the frontlines daily, providing life-saving care for the Bronx communities we serve.
