Brendan G. Carr, MD, MA, MS, Chief Executive Officer of the Mount Sinai Health System, sat down with Russell Wilson to talk about resilience — his own, and that of the kids he's spent years visiting in hospital rooms. What Russell has noticed, across all those visits, is remarkably consistent: the children who push through the hardest moments are almost always surrounded by joy.
It's a small observation with a big implication for how we think about care. At Mount Sinai, we believe that healing isn't purely clinical — it's shaped by the people in the room and the community outside the hospital walls. Russell's work with the Why Not You Foundation reflects that same belief in action.
