"At NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, which includes Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital and the Komansky Center for Children's Health, caring for children means much more than providing the best-available medical care in all clinical specialty areas. Through our affiliation with two of the nation's leading medical colleges — Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons — our pediatric specialists are continually introducing new advanced treatment options," says Dr. Herbert Pardes, president and CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. "At the same time, we strive to create a safe and comforting environment that fosters health and healing for our youngest patients and their families."

"We are proud to be counted again as one of the nation's leading children's hospitals, something that is only possible through the talent and dedication of all our employees and clinical staff," adds Dr. Steven J. Corwin, executive vice president and COO of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
