Exciting Leadership Change at NYU Langone Health!
New York City is buzzing with news of a fresh start at NYU Langone Health. They’ve just made a big announcement: Dr. Alec Kimmelman is stepping into the shoes of the new CEO and Dean of the prestigious Grossman School of Medicine! This change is set to officially take place on September 1, 2023, and the excitement in the air is palpable.
A New Era Begins
Dr. Kimmelman isn’t new to NYU Langone; he has been making waves as the head of the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center since 2023. His appointment comes after a thorough search conducted by the Board of Trustees, who have clearly done their homework to pick a leader who can carry the torch forward.
Dr. Kimmelman is taking over from Dr. Robert Grossman, who has led the institution for an impressive 18 years. Grossman has been a significant force in transforming NYU Langone from a local hospital into a recognized powerhouse in academic healthcare. Under his guidance, the health system saw revenues soar to a whopping $14.2 billion!
The Right Man for the Job
As Dr. Kimmelman prepares to take the helm, he has expressed deep gratitude for the trust placed in him by the Board and the search committee. This kind of warmth reflects the close-knit community at NYU Langone, where teamwork and collaboration are pivotal.
Board chairman Kenneth Langone has commended Kimmelman, noting his extraordinary talent and leadership experience. There’s a genuine buzz of confidence in the air that he will build on Dr. Grossman’s accomplishments while steering the institution into its next innovative chapter.
The anticipation is shared across the board, with Fiona Druckenmiller, the incoming board chair, looking forward to collaborating with Kimmelman. With his background in groundbreaking research in molecular oncology, the future looks bright for NYU Langone.
Transformative Times Ahead
While NYU Langone has grown exponentially, just recently it opened a new hospital in Suffolk County and has plans for an outpatient center in sunny Florida. However, the ambitious $3 billion medical center project at Nassau Community College is currently on hold due to issues beyond their control. But don’t let that put a damper on their progress!
With contributions from Langone, exceeding $400 million, NYU Langone has pushed towards making medical education tuition-free for students. Staying ahead of the curve, NYU Langone Health is also raking in accolades, having recently been ranked as the top comprehensive academic medical center in the country for the third year in a row, according to Vizient, Inc. This institution has truly earned its stripes in the medical community.
Clinically Exceptional
And that’s not all! NYU Langone has made a name for itself in the US News & World Report 2024-2025 “Best Hospitals” rankings, finding a spot on the Honor Roll of the top 20 hospitals in the nation. If that doesn’t scream excellence, then what does?
In specifics, they’ve clinched the top position in neurology and neurosurgery and another top rank in pulmonology and lung surgery for three consecutive years. They also excelled in cardiology and top-five rankings in several other specialties, including urology and geriatrics.
In Conclusion
All signs are pointing toward a transformative journey at NYU Langone Health with Dr. Kimmelman leading the way. As the community awaits this new chapter, the optimism is contagious, and everyone can’t wait to see what the future holds!
