The requirements of modern medicine are more challenging than ever. What we’ve learned in the last century will pale in comparison to what we’ll accomplish in the next. And, as medicine evolves, so does the need to share this knowledge and harness what we discover – because the list of devastating, heartbreaking diseases awaiting a cure remains long. That’s why all of us within the NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System are constantly looking for ways to improve every aspect of patient care. We collaborate, so that we can capitalize on the strength our combined resources.
We draw upon the research capacity and academic infrastructure of two Ivy League medical schools: Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medical College. And, we bring together the collective energy and dedication of approximately 13,000 physicians from 34 medical institutions. This kind of teamwork improves the knowledge base within all our member institutions, with the goal of providing every patient the best possible treatment.
