What We Do

Physician-scientists within the Department of Pediatrics, the Drukier Institute for Children’s Health and the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine rely on philanthropy to drive their research forward.

Children’s Health Council members dedicate gifts of $10,000 or more to any area of pediatric research at Weill Cornell or to the Children’s Health Investigators Fund, giving our investigators the support they need to turn world-class research into world-class care for our littlest patients.
