The innovative New York-Presbyterian Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns is scheduled to open summer, 2020.

It will occupy the top five floors of the N Y Presbyterian David H Koch Center.

“Our goal was to develop a new vision for what ambulatory care could be by focusing first and foremost on patients’ needs and the delivery of exceptional care,” says Dr. Steven J. Corwin, president, and CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian.

Daylighting is an intricate part of the ambulatory care and healing process.
