The Department of Medicine hosted an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on Dec. 6 to celebrate the relocation and renovation of the Department's administrative offices.
The relocation—to the fifth floor of the M building—places Department of Medicine staff closer to patients. The project also expands and modernizes teaching and conference space for physicians, residents and fellows. The modernization of the offices was made possible by the generous support of the Leona and Harry B. Helmsley Foundation. Mrs. Helmsley was the guest of honor at the event.
Speakers and participants included Dr. Ralph Nachman, chairman of the Department of Medicine; Dr. Herbert Pardes, president and CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital; Dr. Antonio Gotto, the Stephen and Suzanne Weiss Dean of the Medical College; Dr. David Skinner, president emeritus of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital; and Dr. Rees Pritchett, professor of clinical medicine.
