In what it's calling "one of the most ambitious initiatives in its 250-year history," NewYork-Presbyterian has launched a new $2 billion capital campaign that has advanced technologies and digital transformation as core goals. WHY IT MATTERS With its For Every Future initiative, NYP hopes to raise that sum by the end of 2028 as it aims to capitalize on a "pivotal moment in medicine, with artificial intelligence and new technologies pushing the boundaries of what's possible, from catching heart failure before it happens to detecting cancer earlier." Additionally, the big-ticket capital campaign will be targeted toward "transformative" new clinical spaces at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, the health system says, and a "state-of-the-art" ambulatory space in nearby White Plains.
