Photos from Our Central Park Picnic
On August 23rd the New City Chapter of the National Spinal Cord Injury Association sponsored a picnic in Central Park for SCI patients of Mount Sinai and their families. NYCSCIA Picnic Chairperson Debra Poli did a fabulous job organizing the event and working with Mount Sinai’s Therapy Manager, Rose-Marie Faotto and her great staff to make it an evening of food, fun and fresh air. The absolutely perfect weather attracted quite a crowd with more than 90 people including patients, staff, families and NYCSCIA members attending. Festivities included a Bocce Ball contest, horseshoes and a football toss as well as a little wheelchair mobility challenge - rolling up and down the hill in the East Meadow helped everyone really work up an appetite! The main attraction was the food, and there were plenty of sandwiches, cookies and watermelon to go around…we all ate a lot and got to watch a beautiful sunset before darkness forced us to call it a night. Particular thanks goes to recreational therapists Beth Rosenfeld and Zakeima Batson who recently joined the Rehabilitation Department at Mount Sinai.
