Dr. Ruth Gottesman, a former professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, has generously donated a significant gift to the institution. This donation is one of the largest ever made to a US school and the largest ever received by a medical school. The Bronx, the poorest borough in New York City, is unfortunately ranked as the unhealthiest among the 62 counties in the state.
In response to this remarkable contribution, Dr Yaron Yomer, the university dean, expressed that this "transformational" gift will greatly enhance their ability to attract students who are dedicated to the institution's mission, regardless of their financial means. It is worth noting that the annual tuition at the school amounts to nearly $59,000, resulting in a significant financial burden for the students.
