Written while the world was still in the grips of the COVID-19 pandemic, Relentless tells the capacious and compelling story of one of America’s leading health care systems mobilizing across science, medicine and the human experience to battle the greatest health care challenge in living memory.
The Mount Sinai Health System was at the epicenter of the pandemic’s first wave as it crashed into New York City in March 2020. Relentless is based on unprecedented access to internal hospital documents and more than 100 candid interviews with the leaders of Mount Sinai’s eight hospitals and school of medicine. The book contains accounts of physicians and nurses on the front lines who pushed themslves to the brink to save lives; of research scientists who worked urgently to decipher and combat the virus; and of the brave patients, staff members and medical students who summoned their reserves of energy, compassion, and courage to fight the disease.
