The annual Lying-In Luncheon to benefit NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill
Cornell Medical Center’s Department of Obstetrics and
Gynecology raised $500K on Tuesday, May 8. More than 250
guests attended the event, which included a fashion show
featuring the latest Fall/Winter 2018 Ready-to-Wear
collection from Naeem Khan and concluded with a selection of
the designer’s hand-embroidered bridal gowns, at Cipriani 42nd Street.
The luncheon was hosted by Dr. Laura L. Forese, executive
vice president and chief operating officer of NewYork-Presbyterian.
Funds from the event will benefit NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill
Cornell Medical Center’s Department of Obstetrics and
Gynecology, whose specialties include general obstetrics and
gynecology, gynecologic oncology, infectious disease and
immunology, maternal fetal medicine and reproductive
endocrinology.
NewYork-Presbyterian’s leadership in women’s health dates
back to 1799 with the founding of The Lying-In Hospital –
New York’s first center devoted solely to the care of women
in childbirth. Today, NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell
Medical Center’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is
a leader in its field, setting standards in patient care,
research, training and community outreach.
The Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns, which
will be located on the top six floors of the NewYork-Presbyterian
David H. Koch Center, will help continue the Hospital’s
mission and commitment to excellence in clinical care,
education and the empowerment of patients. When completed in
2020, this innovative facility will triple the space
available for the care of pregnant women and newborns at the
NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center campus.
