In his constant rounding, communicating, and video messages to staff throughout these crises, Dr. Corwin has inspired the NYP team to work each day, fully committed to upholding — and exceeding — the highest quality, safety and patient experience standards.
At the core of Dr. Corwin’s leadership has been the absolute priority that NewYork‐Presbyterian places on people — NYP’s patients, communities, and its entire team of dedicated employees
and physicians. NewYork‐Presbyterian, with
our partners at Columbia and Weill Cornell Medicine, is bringing world class health care to Westchester County.
