We Ask Because We Care
NewYork-Presbyterian, Columbia, and Weill Cornell Medicine celebrate the diverse people and communities we serve. We pledge to give every patient the best care possible regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, cultural background, or language.
We will strive to make sure all patients have equal access to the highest quality of care. To support this mission, we will ask you questions about your background and preferred language. You can update your information today at www.myconnectnyc.org.
Your information is confidential. Sharing it is your choice. But we ask because we care about you and the health and wellbeing of all our patients.
At NewYork-Presbyterian, Columbia, and Weill Cornell Medicine, we put patients first.
