History
Established in 2000.
The Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Center was established in 2000 as a separate unit of the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. The hospital, voted #1 in New York by US News and World Report, has a long history of serving patients and advancing science through research and education.
With the establishment of the Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Center, the Weill Cornell Medical College and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center placed neurological surgery among its highest priorities. We are now rated third in the nation for neurology and neurological surgery, and first in New York.
