NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine have received a grant for more than $2 million from the New York State Office of Victims Services to sustain and grow an innovative emergency department-based program that improves care for victims of elder abuse.

Two Weill Cornell Medicine physician-scientists, Dr. Anthony Rosen and Dr. Neel Naik, were recently recognized by the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine for their contributions to the field of emergency medicine.
