Cora Marie Taningco-Elarnaouty: A Trailblazer in Case Management at The Mount Sinai Hospital

Celebrating Over Four Decades of Compassionate Care, Clinical Leadership, and Patient Advocacy 

New York, New York  – The Mount Sinai Hospital proudly recognizes Cora Marie Taningco-Elarnaouty, a Certified Case Manager, whose remarkable journey in healthcare exemplifies dedication, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to patient advocacy. With over four decades of experience, Cora has become a vital asset to the hospital and the community it serves.

Her healthcare journey began in 1980 when she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Manuel V. Gallego Foundation Colleges, Inc. in the Philippines. Cora’s career took flight in 1981, igniting a passion for patient care that has only deepened over the years. After moving to New York in 1984, she honed her skills in critical care and expanded her professional horizon by working with IPRO in a part-time capacity. 

With a strong foundation in clinical care, Cora pursued further education and achieved a Master of Business Administration in Health Care Administration from Colorado Technical University in 2011. This educational grounding has empowered her to navigate diverse roles across the healthcare spectrum, including leadership, faculty positions, and various nursing specialties.

Transitioning to case management has allowed Cora to merge her clinical expertise with her passion for patient advocacy. In this role, she supports patients and their families while collaborating closely with her care team, ensuring comprehensive care delivery. Her diverse experiences—from emergency departments to psychiatric case management—have equipped her with the insights necessary to tackle the unique challenges within each setting.

Cora’s certification as a case manager marks a significant milestone in her career, symbolizing her perseverance and the strength derived from her professional community. As she puts it, the “Wonder Woman effect” of the journey has energized and prepared her to keep moving forward, empowered and equipped, like someone proudly wearing a black belt beneath it all.

Her success is rooted in the values instilled in her from a young age, growing up in a medical family. With a father who co-developed the HIV vaccine and a mother who was a pharmacist, Cora was inspired by their dedication to healthcare. This familial influence has shaped her commitment to helping others and fostering a culture of compassion in her practice.

As Cora Marie Taningco-Elarnaouty continues her impactful journey at The Mount Sinai Hospital, she stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration for both her colleagues and the patients she serves.
