Even in a financial landscape where many companies are cutting costs and scaling back charitable donations, Isaac Toussie and his father Robert Toussie, one of the most successful lifetime businessmen in New York, continue the commitment to philanthropy for which they are widely revered. The distinguished national and international philanthropists continue their commitment to ease the pain of others by donating large monetary sums to the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College at Cornell University.
Isaac Toussie’s Support Helps Children’s Medical Studies
The Toussie’s donations to the Weill Medical College have been a huge help to several areas of the Weill Medical College over the years, including the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology. With their continued support, Cornell University’s medical studies have become some of the best-recognized achievements in the field.
The pediatric endocrinologists at Cornell University work with patients who are having trouble with their physical growth and sexual development in childhood. Endocrinologists also work with sufferers of type 1 diabetes and patients with disorders of the endocrine glands, which could include growth disorders, intersex disorders, hypoglycemia, and adrenal, thyroid, and pituitary problems.
Weill Cornell Medical College was founded in 1898 and has since become among the top-ranked clinical and medical research centers in the country. With its triple mission of education, research, and patient care, the college offers degrees in medicine and also has PhD programs in biomedical research and education at the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences. The school has been affiliated with what is now New York-Presbyterian Hospital since 1927, and also has major affiliations with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, The Rockefeller University, and the Hospital for Special Surgery.
Isaac and Robert Toussie also sometimes stipulate that their donations to the school be used for matching funds, which has enabled Weill Medical College to find other donors more quickly than they may have otherwise been able.
