Ingenious generosity: The legacy of education transcends generations. No better way to fix such a complex industry by starting at its core. Many philantropists prefer spending administrative dollars by donating to a hospital or healthcare charity but donating to leapfrog future leaders of healthcare in NYC’s poorest borough maximises efficiency of investment dollars into perpetuity. Bravo Prof. Gottesman! I just hope she included a condition in her donation that each of the students be taught leadership and the business of healthcare. Lawyers run the biggest law firms, accountants lead the best accounting companies, doctors should hold the reigns of healthcare systems.
Dr. Ruth Gottesman, the 93-year-old widow of a Wall Street financier, has donated $1 billion to Bronx medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with instructions that the donation will be used to cover tuition for all students going forward. Dr. Gottesman is a former professor at the school. The donation is not only the largest one ever given to the school, but also important because it is going to a medical school in the Bronx, NYC’s poorest borough. The moment the students realize their tuition is paid for is everything 🥺
Simply wow !!!!
