(HealthNewsDigest.com) – NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital President and CEO Dr. Herbert Pardes and Ronald O. Perelman will be joined by former patient David Letterman and other dignitaries at a ceremony officially opening the new Ronald O. Perelman Heart Institute at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. The center will offer comprehensive, world-class cardiovascular care and heart health education to New Yorkers and patients from around the globe. The unveiling event was held in the new gateway, a dramatic atrium designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners that will act as a unique “Medical Town Square.” A special performance by musicians from the Musical Connections program of The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall will entertain guests.
Last year, it was announced that Mr. Perelman, chairman and CEO of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc., a member of the Board of Trustees of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and the Board of Overseers at Weill Cornell Medical College, had made a $50 million gift to the Medical Center to be equally divided between NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical College, in support of health care in New York City and around the world.
