All of Us Enrollment Bus Comes to Lower Manhattan

The All of Us Research Program is an effort by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to gather data from one million or more people living in the US to accelerate research and improve health. Participants are helping with a research process that can lead to medical breakthroughs and may learn about their own health in the process.

The All of Us Enrollment Bus will be at the Gold Street entrance to New York Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM on February 26th and 27th. The process takes 18-30 minutes, but there will be plenty of assistance on the enrollment bus, and you’ll be helping accelerate medical research leading to more breakthroughs in the health field.

The reception for the new lobby has been overwhelmingly positive, with many staff members, patients, and visitors admiring the update.

“We are very excited about our new lobby!  It is a beautiful and welcoming space for both patients and staff, and it is rewarding for everyone involved when projects we have been working so hard on come to fruition,” said Michael Fosina, the SVP and COO of NY-Presbyterian/Lower Manhattan hospital. “Next, we are looking forward to our brand new inpatient unit which will open this summer.”

There’s nothing more admirable than the art of philanthropy. On Wednesday, June 21, The Children’s Cancer & Blood Foundation (CCBF) held their seventh-annual Contemporary Art Auction to raise funds for pediatric cancer patients.

Phillips Auction House on Park Avenue offered a sleek atmosphere for guests to sip cocktails and browse the artwork on display. The event featured works by many famous artists including Guido Argentini, Wayne Gonzales, Peter Halley, Candida Hofer, and Zhang Huan. CCBF proudly announced that the night was their most successful auction to date. CCBF chairperson, Les J. Lieberman, said, “the funds raised from the evening help CCBF ensure that all of our patients receive care regardless of their ability to pay.” All proceeds were donated to the Division of Pediatric Hematology & Oncology at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
