January, 2010 witnessed the dawning of a new level of cardiac care in the New York City metropolitan area with the opening of the Vivian and Seymour Milstein Family Heart Center. Connie Milstein has long been a supporter of improved health care through her involvement as a hospital trustee at New York-Presbyterian since the year 2000. Connie Milstein’s father, Seymour Milstein began his association with New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center in the 1950s. He served as chairman of the board for 7 years, from 1989 until 1996.
Today New York-Presbyterian can boast a state-of-the-art advanced care cardiac center in a six-floor, 142,000-square-foot building which was designed with the input and advice of teams of specialists in cardiac care alongside world class architects Pei Cobb Freed and da Silva.
