NYU Langone Medical Center is an academic medical center located in New York City, New York, United States, affiliated with New York University. It was placed on the Honor Roll of ''U.S. News'' "Best Hospitals" in the nation for 2012-2015. The Medical Center comprises the NYU School of Medicine and three hospitals: Tisch Hospital, the Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, and the Hospital for Joint Diseases, and recently NYU Lutheran Medical Center. It is also home to the Charles C. Harris Skin & Cancer Pavilion - the most prestigious dermatology institute in the United States and the nation's #1 dermatology training program as ranked by U.S. News & World Report.〔https://www.doximity.com/residency_navigator/programs#residency_specialty_id=41〕 The institution is known for evidence-based clinical care across a wide range of specialties including its five key clinical areas: cardiac and vascular, cancer, musculoskeletal, neurology and neurosurgery, and children’s services. NYU Langone also treats the full range of medical conditions in outstanding programs including the Fertility Center, Weight Management Program (including bariatric surgery), Institute for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, Robotic Surgery Center, Cochlear Implant Center, Sleep Disorders Center, Dysautonomia Center, and programs ranging from maternal-fetal medicine to Alzheimer's disease. The hospital was originally named NYU Medical Center, which was changed in 2008 after a $200 million gift from Kenneth and Elaine Langone. Kenneth Langone is the chairman of the board of trustees. In November 2008, $150 million donation was given in for the construction of a new patient pavilion in honor of the late real estate developer and philanthropist Martin Kimmel.〔(Healthcare Finance News: "NYU Medical Center receives $260M to boost expansion efforts" by Richard Pizzi ) November 13, 2008〕 ==History== With a tradition of responding to urgent public health issues, the faculty and alumni of NYU School of Medicine have contributed to the control of tuberculosis, diphtheria, yellow fever, and venereal disease; the development of vaccines for hepatitis B, polio, and cancer; advances in the treatment and prevention of stroke and heart disease; the introduction of minimally invasive surgical techniques; and others. In the early 1980s, clincians and researchers at NYU School of Medicine, including dermatologists, infectious disease specialists, immunologists, oncologists, and epidemiologists, were among the first to identify an alarming increase in Kaposi's sarcoma, opportunistic infections, and immune system failure among young gay men, and alert health authorities to an imminent health catastrophe, soon to be known as HIV/AIDS. NYU School of Medicine ranks 4th in the nation in the percentage of alumni who go on to become full-time faculty in U.S. medical schools, and 80 percent of its medical students participate in research. The hospital's emergency generators failed during Hurricane Sandy on October 30, 2012, forcing an evacuation of the building, including patients in critical condition.〔(Superstorm Sandy Tests Hospital Preparedness ) by KATIE MOISSE and SYDNEY LUPKIN, ABC News, Oct. 30, 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NYU Langone Medical Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
