The Campaign for NewYork-Presbyterian

Multi-generational group smiling.

Everyone deserves to live a healthy life—no matter what.

At NewYork-Presbyterian, we are proud of our tradition of innovation and of the exceptional care we provide when we bring together brilliant minds, forward-looking facilities, and cutting-edge techniques and technologies.

But we also know that healthcare can—and must—be about so much more.

A truly great hospital will never turn a person away based on their ability to pay. It will provide care across differences of language, culture, lifestyle, and the many social determinants that shape a person’s health. It will draw on a depth of knowledge that includes the vast diversity of human beings and use that knowledge to inform both medical breakthroughs and individualized treatments for each unique patient.

It will look like NewYork-Presbyterian, where caring for all has always been part of our mission—and where it’s at the heart of our vision for the future.

As we look to the next generation of medicine, we must bring forward a deep understanding of the inequities and the social determinants of health that define our hometown, our country, and our world—and our expertise in how to address them.

With your support, we can lead the way in defining a more inclusive, equitable future for medicine.

NYP: Committed to All the Communities We Serve

We are committed to improving the health and well-being of our patients and communities through research, dialogue and education, equity in our clinical operations, investment in our communities, and advocacy. Together, we have the ability to dismantle the systemic factors that lead to health inequity and to be an advocate for national change."

Executive Director, Dalio Center for Health Justice NewYork-Presbyterian

We recognize our country must address long-standing health disparities due to race, socioeconomic differences, access to care, and other complex factors that impact the well-being of our communities disproportionately. NewYork-Presbyterian hopes to be a leader in health justice and developing programs to help solve these issues and improve the lives of our patients and our communities.”

Top-Notch Healthcare, Defined by Care and Compassion for All

Our commitment to health justice informs everything we do, providing a lens through which we approach every aspect of healthcare.
We know that every patient comes to us from a different place and that providing best-in-class care to all requires a personalized approach to medicine. And we know that 80 percent of health is driven by social, behavioral, and environmental factors known as social determinants of health—the root causes of health injustice. The future of healthcare requires a new, more integrated paradigm that considers not only the patient’s physical health but also their social determinants of health—because that is what makes equitable health outcomes possible.
At NYP, we’re leading the way in defining this new paradigm not only for our hospital but also for the world at large.

NYP: Health Justice in Action

With Your Support, We Will Break New Ground in Health Justice

Investment Priorities

Brain and Behavioral Health

  • Ensuring that the Center for Youth Mental Health has all the resources it needs to face the growing mental health crisis.

This Is Who We Are—And What Healthcare Should Be.

As healthcare professionals, we are driven by a desire to save and serve as many people as we can.

The tools we use, and the models of care we create, will help NYP expand our skills and revolutionize medicine so we can provide the best possible care for anyone who walks through our doors—and what we do here will serve as a beacon for hospitals and caregivers all over the world.

But we need your help to realize our bold visions for health justice as reality—right here and right now.
