Steven J. Corwin

Steven J. Corwin, M.D, is President and Chief Executive Officer of NewYork-Presbyterian, one of the nation’s largest, most comprehensive healthcare systems. Under his leadership, NewYork-Presbyterian has nearly doubled in size and now comprises more than 47,000 employees and affiliated physicians, providing world-class care at 10 hospitals, and 200 community-based primary and specialty care clinics and medical practices across Greater New York.

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is the only academic medical center in the country affiliated with two top-ranked medical schools − Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medicine. NYP is ranked among the top 10 hospitals in the nation, and has been the No. 1 hospital in New York for more than 20 years, according to U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Hospitals” list.

During the first wave of COVID-19, New York City became one of the early epicenters of the disease. Between March and May 2020, approximately 54,000 New York City residents were hospitalized, including more than 11,500 COVID-19 patients who were admitted to NYP locations – some of the highest volumes of COVID patients in the nation. Under Dr. Corwin’s leadership, NYP undertook a multifaceted response to the pandemic, in close collaboration with the two medical schools, to address inpatient capacity, staffing needs, equipment shortages, disease management, and patient and community education.

As President and CEO, Dr. Corwin has launched groundbreaking initiatives such as NYP OnDemand, a suite of digital health services that increases access to NewYork-Presbyterian’s expert care, and the installation of a single, integrated, electronic medical record across the NYP enterprise. He has overseen development of state-of-the-art care facilities including the NewYork-Presbyterian David H. Koch Center, an ambulatory care facility; the Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns at Weill Cornell Medicine, exclusively dedicated to the healthcare needs of pregnant women and their newborn babies; the Center for Community Health, a multispecialty outpatient center in Brooklyn; and the Och Spine Hospital, a premier center for orthopedic and neurological spine surgery.
