At the Department of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine, one thing is non-negotiable: kids come first. In affiliation with Children’s Hospital of New York at NewYork-Presbyterian, we’re proud to deliver outstanding, family-centered care, push the boundaries of pediatric research, and train tomorrow’s pediatric leaders.
Our department spans twelve subspecialty divisions and includes a wide range of programs, clinics, and outpatient care sites across the region. Whether providing expert consultative services or managing medically complex conditions, we are a trusted hub for children of all ages, including as a top referral center for high-risk newborns.
And our providers know mental health is essential to whole-child health. That’s why we integrate mental health as a guiding principle, so all children’s hospital and clinic interactions have the opportunity for mental health evaluation and access.
Welcome from the Chair
At Weill Cornell Medicine’s Department of Pediatrics, our mission is clear: improve children’s health and wellbeing through top-notch care, pioneering research, and developing future pediatricians and scientists.
As part of the NewYork-Presbyterian Children’s Hospital of New York, a premiere partner of Children's Hospital of New York Komansky Children's Hospital, we have sites across the region in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, providing expert, family-centered care to a wide array of patients who experience a diverse range of medical needs. Our faculty and trainees partner with colleagues at the Gale and Ira Drukier Institute for Children’s Health, the Tri-Institutional Consortium comprised of Weill Cornell Medicine, The Rockefeller University, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Hospital for Special Surgery, Cornell University, Columbia University and other top-tier institutions nationally and globally.
Initiatives like the Physician Scientist Training Program (PSTP) and newly launched Vertically Integrated Advocacy Groups bring departments together to reimagine how we deliver care, educate, innovate, and advocate across disciplines. We strive to make meaningful, transformative change in the lives of children and families through supporting, educating, and training pediatricians and researchers, and ultimately translating that into the highest quality and compassionate care for all children.
I am proud of our mission and the people who power it. I invite you to explore our work, follow us, and reach out to learn more.
