Launched with a transformative $100 million gift from longtime benefactors Joan and Sanford I. Weill, an energy and urgency infuse this new campaign. At its core is a vision of physician-scientists working together with one central goal in mind: speeding breakthrough treatments and cures to our patients. With the recent opening of the Belfer Research Building, we know that we are the right place and that this is the right time for Weill Cornell to be at the center of a transformation in medicine.
Each element of this campaign – recruiting more leading lights to our campus, enhancing our already strong medical education curriculum, and accelerating our current research efforts – is a critical and exciting step toward changing the lives of those who receive our care.
With this campaign, Weill Cornell will build on its track record of unprecedented growth. We are perfectly poised to usher in an era of personalized and 'tailored' medicine. We must keep our students on the frontlines of medical discoveries and patient care, and provide our faculty with the best opportunities and resources possible.
The Driving Discoveries, Changing Lives Campaign will catalyze the next phase of healthcare and medicine. As we look toward the future, there are myriad opportunities on the horizon.
