NYU Langone receives $25 million gift from the Bezos Family Foundation
NYU Lutheran Medical Center Has Officially Become NYU Langone Hospital - Brooklyn
NYU Lutheran Medical Center has formally changed its name to NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn. The name change is a major development for longtime residents of the neighborhood who have always known it as Lutheran Hospital.
The hospital also announced a philanthropic pledge of $25 million made by the Bezos Family Foundation that will support major initiatives to help mothers, children and families throughout the borough.
The Bezos Family Foundation is a private, independent foundation established by Jackie and Mike Bezos, who along with their children and spouses serve as directors. Jackie and Mike Bezos are Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ mother and step-father. The foundation, however, is not funded by the Amazon founder.
The foundation’s focus includes research, public awareness and programs focused on education and improving the lives of children.
