Ways to Give
The Department of Public Health’s advances in clinical care, research, and education could not be accomplished without the support and partnership of private philanthropy. Gifts and endowments support new and existing research and services programs, visiting professorships, and endowed faculty chairs. These funds are critically necessary to ensure the continued fulfillment of these commitments.
Each of our six divisions is working on a variety of research and clinical programs that need your support. We are seeking start-up funds for new research, as well as donations to the Chairman’s Development Fund, which makes initial investments in faculty and the Department’s infrastructure at Dr. Mushlin’s discretion. Endowments are currently needed for professorships in the Divisions of Medical Ethics, Outcomes and Effectiveness Research, and Health Policy. Professorships are integral to our goal of advancing scholarly research, strengthening medical education and improving healthcare because they enable the Department to attract and retain outstanding senior scientists.
There is a place for even the smallest contribution. We encourage you to contact the Office of the Chairman or the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center Development Office at (212) 821-0500 to discuss philanthropic options. The Chairman and the staff of the Development Office will work with prospective patrons on areas and projects of interest and review available recognition opportunities.
