Giving to Weill Cornell Medicine

A Message From Our Leadership - December 2021

From Our Dean

Dean Choi


The launch of our We’re Changing Medicine campaign this past summer marked a new era at Weill Cornell Medicine. The campaign is not only a critical philanthropic endeavor for our institution as we grow and expand, it is also a call for necessary and transformational change. Academic medicine, and health care at large, are at a pivotal moment as the medical landscape continues to evolve. It is our responsibility – as a world-class leader in the field – to create this change and pioneer new possibilities in patient care, research and medical education. And, with this new initiative, we are doing exactly that.

As we continue to invest in each of our campaign priority areas, we are also laser-focused on supporting the health-care leaders of tomorrow. Our students, some of the brightest worldwide, are the professionals who will advance medicine for many years to come. We must prepare them for the future by providing them with a top-tier education and a well-rounded experience that supports every aspect of their journey. With the help of so many of our donors and friends, we are already doing so with our comprehensive medical education curriculum and our extraordinary debt-free program for those who demonstrate financial need. And now is the time to push this effort even further, by building a new student residence.

This residence is much more than a place where our students will live; it is a facility that will promote overall wellness and enhance our already strong student community. Like our physicians, if our students feel well-supported, they are better positioned to provide the best possible care to our patients. It is imperative that we teach these future physicians and scientists the importance of balance, wellness and peer support as they enter into this exciting and challenging field. With your support, building this residence will be a critical step toward this goal.

With gratitude,
