With a gift of $200,000 in support of a Weill Cornell Medicine program to encourage vaccination, the Weil, Gotshal & Manges Foundation hopes to boost COVID-19 vaccination rates in underserved communities.
For more than 40 years, Sanford I. (Sandy) Weill’s visionary leadership and dedication have helped guide Weill Cornell Medicine to the forefront of academic medicine.
As we embark upon the We’re Changing Medicine campaign, we asked some members of our Campaign Executive Committee to expand upon the inspiration behind their generosity, and why they remain encouraged to help us lead a change in medicine today.
The Diversity-Mentorship Collaborative program will also enhance opportunities for more inclusive access to professional tracks in research and help cultivate and mentor promising candidates from populations underrepresented in medicine (also known as URiM).
Mentoring has always been central to our mission at Weill Cornell Medicine. Our residents and fellows gain valuable clinical skills by observing senior practitioners, discussing cases with supervisors, and honing techniques under guidance.
Milestones, the Weill Cornell institutional newsletter, is published four times a year and highlights some of our recent donors and exciting developments.
