The Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation has gifted New York City-based NewYork-Presbyterian with $75 million to create a unit dedicated to new mothers and newborns, according to Crain's New York.
The Alexandra & Steven Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns will be part of NewYork-Presbyterian's Weill Cornell campus. It will be located in the David Koch Center, a planned ambulatory care facility, and will occupy six floors and 246,500 square feet.
The new hospital will house 75 private rooms and well-baby bassinets, 60 private neonatal intensive care bassinets, 16 labor and delivery rooms, five C-section suites, five post-acute car bays and 14 ultrasound rooms, according to the report.
The Alexandra & Steven Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns will be the first NICU in the city with MRI capabilities and an operating room.
The donation is part of a $2 billion capital campaign that started in 2013 with a $100 million gift from Executive Vice President of Koch Industries, David Koch, according to the report.
The Cohen Foundation has also donated to other New York hospitals. In 2005, they gifted $50 million to NewYork-Presbyterian's Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital in Washington Heights for a pediatric emergency room. In 2010, Northwell Health renamed its children's hospital in New Hyde Park after the Cohens following their donation of $50 million.
