Two New Endowed Chairs Established
Weill Cornell Medical College has named its department of medicine the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Department of Medicine. The naming is in recognition of the Weills’ recent $100 million gift – which also established the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Center for Metabolic Health – and honors the couple’s longstanding dedication to the medical college. Additionally, two new endowed chairs have been established: Dr. Augustine M.K. Choi has been named the Sanford I. Weill Chairman of the Department of Medicine and Dr. Louis Aronne has been named the Sanford I. Weill Professor of Metabolic Research.
