Summary
Mount Sinai has launched the Steven S. Elbaum Family Center for Caregiving to improve recognition and support for caregivers within the healthcare system, led by Dr. Allison J. Applebaum. The center seeks to address the psychological needs of caregivers dealing with various illnesses and disabilities, moving beyond its previous oncology focus. Established through a donation from Trudy Elbaum Gottesman and Robert W. Gottesman in memory of Steven S. Elbaum, the center aims to enhance caregiver support in American medical practice through scalable support models, innovative research, and training future scientists in caregiving.
