1841 Society

Named for the year in which the New York University School of Medicine was founded, The 1841 Society was established in 1994 to acknowledge individuals who annually contribute $1,000 or more to support any program or campaign at NYU Medical Center. Members of this prestigious donor club greatly help advance NYU Medical Center's mission of excellence in high-quality patient care, superior medical education, and cutting-edge research, all designed to improve the health of the communities served.
