NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In a surprise announcement during NYU Langone Health's annual Violet Ball, Elaine Langone and her husband, Kenneth G. Langone, Chair of the Board of Trustees of NYU Langone Health, informed the attendees that NYU School of Medicine will be renamed the NYU Robert I. Grossman School of Medicine in honor of the current Dean of the school.

"In recognition of the superb leadership he has given the institution and for the high standards of quality patient care we teach and are known for, the NYU School of Medicine will be renamed in Dr. Robert Grossman's honor as the NYU Robert I. Grossman School of Medicine," said Elaine Langone, addressing more than 500 guests in attendance with this unique distinction for the sitting Dean of an institution.

"None of the milestones NYU Langone has achieved would have been possible without the boldness, resiliency and the passion for patient care and quality that Bob Grossman brings to this institution," said Mr. Langone. "He always strives to elevate the quality of what we do, he brings out the best in people and he's brought out the best in this institution. I am so proud to partner with him and we're honored to rename the NYU School of Medicine on his behalf."

During his more than decade-long tenure, Robert I. Grossman, MD, Dean of NYU School of Medicine and CEO of NYU Langone Health, has redefined firsts and continued to pioneer medical education. He has been the principal architect of many historic initiatives in health care, including the recent decision to provide tuition-free medical education for all current and future students in its MD degree program. He also curated a new approach to medical education, called Curriculum for the 21st Century, which emphasizes clinical training from the beginning of medical school and includes a revolutionary three-year MD program for select candidates.

Most recently, Dr. Grossman was the driving force behind the creation of NYU Long Island School of Medicine—a partnership between NYU and NYU Langone Health—offering full-tuition scholarships with an accelerated three-year curriculum exclusively devoted to training primary care physicians.

Honoring the Langones' 20-Year Commitment

Ken and Elaine Langone were also honored at the 2019 Violet Ball for their 20-year commitment to NYU Langone and Mr. Langone's 20th anniversary as Chairman of the Board. The annual Violet Ball raised more than $150 million to complete the institution's twelve-year, historic $3 billion fundraising campaign. The event was held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue in New York City on the evening of November 4. Proceeds from the Violet Ball are used to support full-tuition scholarships at the NYU School of Medicine as well as graduate biomedical research education. These philanthropic funds are critical to advancing NYU Langone's bold vision as a top-rated institution for patient care, education, and scientific discovery, while reducing the financial burden of debt for students.
