We've always been well-known and we've always been world-class I'm Dr. Len Girardi
and I'm a graduate of Weill Cornell Medicine class of 1989 and today
I'm chairman and professor of cardiothoracic surgery at Weill Cornell
Medicine it's clear that Weill Cornell Medicine has transformed in the last 20
years with the kind of support we've received from leaders like Joan and
Sandy Weill and many others who have invested in our success everything from
education to research to clinical care has been elevated over the last two
decades the sophistication of the patient care we can provide has
increased exponentially we have doctors at over 40 patient care sites throughout
New York City and more than 1.7 million patient visits every year we built the
Weill Greenberg building our flagship ambulatory care facility all while
strengthening relationships with our top-ranked clinical partners because of
all these advances we're now able to recruit true bench-to-bedside doctors
who can take what they're seeing with the patient's innovate in the lab and
then bring it back to the patient we have such a depth of talent and I'm
proud to train the next generation it's truly a new era at Weill Cornell
Medicine in the last 20 years Weill Cornell has been part of a revolution in
medicine and biomedical research I'm Dr. Elizabeth Ross and I'm a graduate of
Weill Cornell Medicine class of 82 today I'm a professor of neurology and
professor of neuroscience in the file family brain and mind Research Institute
and I direct the Center for neurogenetics at Weill Cornell it's
never been such an exciting time to be an investigator we can now use insights
from our patients as a window into understanding the molecular mechanisms
of disease and we hope that will find its way back to new treatments the
Belfer Research Building has really opened up incredible possibilities for
discovery at Weill Cornell more than 70 outstanding investigators have been
recruited leading to a 25% increase in a sponsored research and rising support
from the INH the complexity of research these days
demands that investigation be multidisciplinary and highly
collaborative we have residents in the lab PhD students medical students and
postdoctoral fellows and we're all a single team trying to figure out what
causes disease and how we can disrupt that to improve health if we can't get
something done here then it probably can't be done. No matter where I've been
in my career Weill Cornell has always been there for me at every step
I'm dr. Linnie Golightly and I'm a graduate of Weill Cornell Medicine class
of 83 today I'm an associate professor of microbiology and immunology and
associate dean for faculty diversity every year Weill Cornell students study
at dozens of programs around the world including Tanzania, Haiti, Ghana and of
course Weill Cornell Medicine and Doha Qatar in the last two decades we've
raised millions for scholarship support we have a new medical school curriculum
that allows for increased interaction with patients and innovative learning
methods new state-of-the-art classrooms and mobile digital tools that were
beyond reach 20 years ago and while we have all of these new things at Weill
Cornell the fabric is the same as it was when I was a student it's a warm
community with a belief in people and patients we all Care, Discover and Teach
that's our fabric woven together thanks to Joan and Sandy Weill
this is Weill Cornell today.
