NewYork-Presbyterian Phyllis and David Komansky Center for Children's Health
An exciting initiative designed to improve the medical care of children is underway at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. The new Komansky Center for Children's Health, funded through a generous gift from Phyllis and David Komansky, has been established to make medical care more accessible, advanced, and supportive of the needs of young patients and their families. The emphasis on children's health is critical and sets the tone for the Komansky Center. Not only will we be more prepared to treat sick children, but our programs will also emphasize health maintenance and prevention.
"I have a very strong philosophical bent that if you are doing something worthwhile, you should try to be the best at what you're doing," says David Komansky. "I hope this gift will propel the Department of Pediatrics into becoming one of the finest in the country. The patients, professionals and the City deserve it. If we can play a small role in achieving this goal, we'll be delighted."
