Two city hospitals received a $50 million gift Thursday from Revlon cosmetics mogul Ronald Perelman. New York Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical Center received the multi-million dollar donation from Perelman. He says he made the contribution to support advances in cardiac care and reproductive medicine.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn says Perleman's generosity will give hope to the city's residents. "[Hope] is an incredibly important thing right now in our city, because at a time when people are worried about their future, you are sending a message to them that their future will be okay," said Quinn. "Because we are in a city of great and generous people who are going to ban together and make sure that everyone gets the best care they possibly could."
"My dream is for these guys to help a lot of people get better, be better, and do better," said Perelman. The hospital plans to build a new cardiac care facility, which will be named the Ronald O. Perelman Heart Care Institute. The donation will also support research and clinical care at the Center for Reproductive Medicine, which will also be named after the donor and his late ex-wife.
