NYU Langone-Brooklyn gets $166M gift from Bezos family
NYU Langone Health on Monday announced the receipt of a $166 million gift from the Bezos family to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, whose main campus is in Sunset Park.
This gift follows a $25 million philanthropic pledge made in 2017 by the Bezos Family Foundation to support major initiatives to help mothers, children and families in Brooklyn.
“Four years ago, through the Bezos Family Foundation, we invested in NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn to help support the families of Sunset Park and bring them access to higher-quality care. Today, in the midst of a pandemic that has accentuated the need for more comprehensive health supports, our family wishes to deepen our personal commitment to the community and to NYU Langone Health’s efforts in Brooklyn,” said Mike Bezos.
