NY-Presbyterian Welcomes Three to Board of Trustees

Though Connie Milstein now resides in Washington, DC, she remains involved in a variety of causes in New York City, where she lived and worked for many years. In 2010, the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital opened the Vivian and Seymour Milstein Family Heart Center, made possible through a $50 million gift from the Milstein family, including Connie and her brother Phillip. The state-of-the-art, 142,000-square-foot Heart Center features advanced diagnostic technology and treatments that are less invasive, more accurate, and require less healing time. Connie has served as a member of the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Board of Trustees since 2000. The Board, which is made up of 87 individuals, oversees the Hospital’s five campuses.

Last week, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital announced three new additions to the Board of Trustees: private equity executive Russell Lloyd Carson; real estate developer Bruce A. Beale, Jr.; and former U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao.

The hospital is the national’s largest not-for-profit, non-sectarian hospital – it boasts 2,409 beds between its five campuses. Each year, the hospital’s 6,144 affiliated physicians and 19,376 staff provides inpatient, ambulatory and preventative care for the 2 million inpatient and outpatient visits each year. The U.S. News and World Report ranks NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital as the sixth-best in the United States. Each of the hospital’s specialties was ranked in the top 50 by the publication.
