The NYU Langone Medical Center has opened the doors to its new Ronald O. Perelman Center for Emergency Services.
NYU Langone's ED closed for repairs and renovation in October 2012 after sustaining damages from Hurricane Sandy. In December 2013, Ronald O. Perelman, chairman and CEO of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, presented a $50 million gift to build the Perelman Emergency Center.
The new ED is three times the size of the former ED, offering 40 emergency care treatment spaces and the KiDS of NYU Pediatric Emergency Care Center dedicated to the needs of children and families.
"For more than a year, New York has been rebuilding and reimagining itself for a new weather reality that affects all of us. I toured this site a couple weeks after the storm, and I believe that the work done on NYU Langone's ED truly demonstrates the resilience and dedication of New Yorkers who come together in times of great crisis and emerge stronger than before," said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a hospital news release.
