A Message From Our Leadership - July 2022

From Our Dean

As dean of Weill Cornell Medicine, I have been fortunate to meet with many of our donors to learn what inspires their incredible philanthropy. Many are moved to give because they are grateful for the care they have received from their remarkable Weill Cornell Medicine physicians, they’ve learned about a research program that is pioneering in an emerging field, or they feel passionate about supporting a specific student scholarship program. While others like Francis Sorin, who is mentioned in this issue’s cover story, come to us with a fervent commitment to our institution and simply want to help us meet some of our greatest needs. There are so many different and important reasons to give. In every instance, with every vital gift, we are incredibly grateful for this generosity. 

Den Choi

Weill Cornell Medicine has grown to be such a formidable powerhouse in academic medicine because of the ongoing support of our friends and donors. You are helping shape our future health-care leaders, drive groundbreaking science and research, and provide world-class care to our patients. The We’re Changing Medicine campaign builds on these accomplishments and enhances our capacity to grow and expand. Through your partnership, we have already made great strides in each of our campaign priority areas, and we will continue to provide and expand our institution’s innovative and comprehensive care. 

This campaign is more than just a critical philanthropic effort for our institution: It is an essential evolution, designed to meet the needs of our ever-changing health-care system with forward-thinking determination. Thank you for joining us in this visionary movement. 

With gratitude,
