The newly named Alfred and Gail Engelberg Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai was officially unveiled during a recent plaque dedication and reception that honored Alfred B. Engelberg and his wife, Gail May Engelberg, for their generous $4 million gift.
“Mount Sinai is the only academic medical center in Manhattan to recognize that training family physicians who are capable of providing high-quality and low-cost care in urban neighborhoods is essential to the health and well-being of New York City,” said Mr. Engelberg. “We are proud to support this effort.”
Neil Calman, MD, Professor and Mount Sinai Health System Chair of Family Medicine and Community Health, said, “Alfred and Gail are longtime advocates of family medicine, and their philanthropic commitment will help fund the expansion of the Icahn School of Medicine’s residency program and benefit the next generation of family medicine physicians.”
