New York is at the forefront of healthcare. Many world-class hospitals and medical research centers are located in New York.

Weill Cornell Medicine is one example of a NY medical institution that makes medical research a priority. The institution helps researchers secure funding, often by turning to philanthropists. For example, Dr. Darius Paduch is a urologist whose research was funded by the Paul Ostling Foundation. The contributions of Paul Ostling, a business leader and former Global Chief Operating Officer at Ernst & Young, helped make his research possible.

The research center at Weill Cornell Medicine focuses on several areas of medicine including neurodegenerative diseases, infectious diseases and cancer research. Weill Cornell Medicine houses facilities that support physical and intellectual advances in medical research.

This combination of medical excellence, dedication and generosity are key factors that contribute to the advancement of medical care in New York.
