In response to the lawsuit, Mount Sinai swiftly embarked on a system-wide campaign of “groundbreaking Initiatives to advance gender equity, diversity, and inclusion”, including becoming an official signatory to Time’s Up Healthcare.

We are proud to join TIME’S UP Healthcare. As critical conversations about equity happen nationwide, it is incumbent on institutions—both inside and outside science and medicine—to rigorously examine their policies and climate, pinpoint ways to improve, and take action. - Dennis Charney, MD

It is gratifying that following the publicity arising from our case and internal pressure from Sinai’s employees, students, and trainees (and the hiring of their second P.R. firm) Mount Sinai has now agreed to join TUHC and has launched a slew of new initiatives to counter gender discrimination and advance gender equity at Mount Sinai.

However, these stand in sharp contrast to Sinai’s continuing blatant dismissal of the charges of sex, age and race discrimination from the eight of us, who are former and current employees. In light of Mount Sinai President and CEO Ken Davis’ recent comments that “this case is simply without merit,” we cannot let the signing of the TUHC declaration be used as a smokescreen to hide their protection of a structurally discriminatory environment and the discriminators who perpetuate it. - Read our full response to Mount Sinai here.
