In recognition of the lead gift, the NYU Langone Ambulatory Care Centre will be renamed the Mignone Women’s Health Collaborative. This state-of-the-art facility will bring together over 125 expert providers across 20 areas in women’s health, including preventive care, pregnancy support, midlife health, and fibroid care.

The collaborative will also establish new coursework in women’s health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and offer advanced imaging MRIs for muscle and fat composition, longevity, and cancer screenings. Additionally, it will enroll high-risk patients in promising clinical studies

Griffin’s support will enable NYU Langone to establish the Griffin Healthspan and Vitality Centre within the collaborative, focusing on overall well-being, longevity, and quality of life for women.

“These new gifts strengthen our ability to form lifelong relationships with patients built on scientific excellence and compassionate care,” said Caren Behar, co-director of the Mignone Women’s Health Collaborative. “Women’s health has historically been full of gaps in care and knowledge… The Mignones’ extraordinary support and Ken Griffin’s gift will increase our ability to approach women with care that understands their bodies and experiences.”

The gifts will help NYU Langone Health provide more comprehensive and personalised care to women, addressing the unique needs and challenges they face throughout their lives.
