   5. Medical Education Center (MEC)

      30 Sunshine Cottage Road

      Valhalla, NY 10595

       

      The Medical Education Center (MEC), a 56,000 square-foot four-story building, is considered a second home to many medical students at NYMC. The first floor contains the light-filled Blanche and Albert Willner, M.D. '43, Atrium and Lobby and the 250-seat John W. Nevins, M.D. ’44, Auditorium. The second and third floors accommodate students in a variety of flexible configurations within nine module classrooms, each divided into small group teaching and study rooms. The Alumni Gross Anatomy Laboratory occupies the entire top floor with an innovative light-filled design. The 8,500 square foot facility features 36 dissecting tables, a specialized ventilation system, natural northern light exposure and changing areas with showers and lockers.

   6. The Blanche and Albert Willner, M.D. '43 Atrium Lobby

      Historical faculty portraits adorn the walls of the Medical Education Center (MEC) Blanche and Albert Willner, M.D. '43 Atrium Lobby. These portraits depict some of the key figures who played leading roles in the formative years of the College (then known as the New York Homeopathic Medical College). Reflecting the College’s second home at New York Ophthalmic Hospital (1872-1889), several of these portraits depict members of the ophthalmology faculty. All of these figures were highly regarded in their day and most were well published with many of their important texts still published in re-print form today.

       

      The procurement, restoration and display of these portraits is the culmination of 35 years of work. Most of the College’s large portrait collection had been left at Flower and Fifth Avenue Hospital (now Terence Cardinal Cooke Health Care Center) when NYMC moved to Valhalla in the 1970s. The majority of these portraits were discovered and returned to the College through the efforts of Jay Tartell, M.D. ’82, when he was a medical student. A second smaller group of portraits and historic artifacts remaining at Cardinal Cooke were recovered by Dr. Tartell and Edward C. Halperin, M.D., chancellor and chief executive officer in 2013. Recently, several important portraits and their frames were professionally restored with funds from the NYMC Alumni Association and Dr. Tartell.

       

      The College’s 19th century faculty portraits are closely grouped on walls of the MEC lobby in a period-appropriate “salon style.” This style of displaying artworks came into vogue in the 19th century as a way of conveying the size and importance of many large private and public art collections of the times. Large museums, including the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art as well as private art salons in the mansions of wealthy collectors such as the Vanderbilt family, densely displayed paintings to the ceiling in keeping with the opulence which was a hallmark of the Gilded Age.

      About Albert Willner, M.D. ’43

       

      Albert Willner, M.D. ’43 (1918–2011), was an alumnus and former College trustee. From the day he became a physician, Dr. Willner ardently believed he owed a debt of gratitude to New York Medical College for giving him the education he needed to succeed. Throughout his entire career he worked tirelessly to repay that debt—even donating the first paycheck he earned as a physician to the College. He was active in the Alumni Association for more than four decades, joined the Board of Trustees in 1996, and was a member of the President’s National Advisory Council.

       

      Dr. Willner and his wife Blanche were generous supporters of the medical student scholarship program, often responding to needs they learned about on their visits to campus by underwriting various campus facilities and structures. In the late 1990s Dr. Willner and his family donated funds to build a playground in student housing, and later funded the renovation and construction of the atrium lobby of the Medical Education Center (MEC) which is named after the couple in honor of their longtime patronage and dedication.

       

      In 2006, the College awarded Dr. Willner the William Cullen Bryant medal, in recognition for his distinguished and wide-ranging leadership. He once said, “I hope that those students who are part of the College today will not take the value of [their education] for granted, and will help in their own way when they become leaders in medicine.”

       

      One of three children born to parents who left Poland and came to the U.S. in the 1890s, Albert Willner was one of several “Dr. Willners” in his family: his uncle Irving (who graduated from New York Medical College in 1913), his brothers Philip and Milton, and Albert himself, who met his wife, Blanche, on a commuter train while attending New York University as an undergraduate. Their two children became doctors, and so did several grandchildren, a nephew and a grandnephew—all told, about one out of three were New York Medical College graduates.

       

      Albert Willner, M.D. ’43 died on November 16, 2011, at the age of 93. He was predeceased by his wife Blanche, and is survived by his son, Dr. Joseph Willner, daughter Dr. Jane Bloomgarden, and numerous nieces, nephews and grandchildren, including Noah Bloomgarden, M.D. ’10.

      The second floor (Pasquale Montesano, M.D., '38, Floor) and third floor of the MEC accommodate students in a variety of flexible configurations within nine module classrooms, each divided into small group teaching and study rooms, known as Module Rooms (The Mods).

      __________________________________

       

      Three generations of the Montesano family have a very special place in the hearts of many at the College—and on the second floor of the Medical Education Center (MEC). Pasquale X. Montesano, M.D. ’79, generously named the second floor of the MEC in loving tribute to his parents, Pasquale X. Montesano, M.D. ’38 and Theresa Montesano, R.N. ’37.

       

      The Montesano family ties to the College go back to the 1930s when Pasquale X. Montesano, M.D. ’38, graduated from the School of Medicine and Theresa Montesano, R.N. ’37, attended the College’s former nurse training program. Four decades later, their son, Pasquale X. Montesano, M.D. ’79, continued the tradition and graduated with a specialty in orthopaedic surgery.  Dr. Montesano has since become a prominent physician in the field of spinal and neck disorders.

       

      Dr. Montesano completed residencies at Metropolitan Hospital Center and St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York City. He held appointments at Westchester Medical Center, Metropolitan Hospital Center, St. Vincent’s Hospital, North Kansas City Memorial Hospital, and University of California, Davis Medical Center prior to opening his private practice in California in 1992. His career has also included serving as the Spine Consultant for the NBA Sacramento Kings and as Liaison Orthopedist for the 1987 Coors’ International Bicycle Classic. 

   9. The Gross Anatomy Laboratory

      The Gross Anatomy Laboratory occupies the entire top floor of the MEC with an innovative light-filled design. The 8,500 square foot facility features 36 dissecting tables with wired and secured wireless networking available at each table, a specialized ventilation system, natural northern light exposure and separate student and faculty changing areas with showers and lockers.

   10. Alumni House

       Alumni House

        

       The Alumni House is important technologically, architecturally, and historically. The structure is an unusual example of the use of poured concrete for residential use which was constructed and occupied by prominent county residents.

        

       The site of the house has a history dating back to pre-revolutionary times. The first occupant of a dwelling on this site was believed to be Captain Thaddeus Avery. Avery, a farmer, was instrumental in hiding money needed to pay Washington’s troops. In later years, the poured concrete structure was occupied by Westchester County Commissioners of Public Welfare, V. Everit Macy and Miss Ruth Taylor among others, and became known as the “Commissioner’s House.” The Strawson family was the last to occupy the house from 1944-1960. Stanton M. Strawson was Commissioner of Public Welfare for Westchester County from 1950-1960.

        

       After that period, the “Strawson House” stood abandoned for many years. The building had been scheduled for demolition by the Westchester County Department of Public Works and in the interim, was used by the Fire Safety Training Unit for practice in putting out fires. After hearing of the demolition plans in 1979, the School of Medicine Alumni Association initiated a campaign to restore the building. By 1981, the Association had raised $75,000. On January 29, 1982, The House was leased to New York Medical College by Westchester County. On December 15, 1982, the Alumni Association presented a check for $230,000 to College President John J. Connolly. The campaign had met its goal and the effort to raise funds continued towards the restoration effort. Renovation began in June 1983. The building was restored as faithfully as possible in consultation with the County Planning Department. The front and back porticos were added and an open porch was enclosed for the boardroom in the 1980s. With the restoration completed, the dedication of the House took place on June 2, 1984.

        

       The Alumni House is now an elegant venue for meetings and events, and is now home to the administrative offices of NYMC Alumni Relations, as well as the Joseph Dersi, M.D. '59 Conference Room, and offers an elegant venue for meetings, receptions and alumni events.

   11. Grasslands Residence Halls

       NYMC's student housing is composed of ten garden-style apartment buildings and five suite-style buildings.

        

       Grasslands I, the garden-style apartments, contain 100 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments for families and non-traditional students.

        

       Grasslands II, the suite-style buildings, provides housing for 310 single students in 80 shared apartments.
       
       

       Centrally located in the residence hall complex is the Student Center Building, which houses a laundry facility and the Nicholas and Liberta Testa Fitness Center. The Fitness Center contains cardiovascular equipment and the other weight-training equipment.

        

       All full-time NYMC students and other occupants of Grasslands residential buildings may use the center 24-hours a day. The door is locked at all times and students may gain access to the building using their NYMC ID card. Students who do not reside on campus may obtain access to the recreational facilities through the Security Department, 914-594-4226.

        

       In addition to the Fitness Center, many students gather for informal sports competitions in the field behind Alumni House, and the outdoor-lit basketball courts located behind the Basic Sciences Building.

   12. Basic Sciences Building (BSB)

       15 Dana Road

       Valhalla, NY 10595

        

       The Basic Sciences Building was completed in 1972. Lectures, labs and study modules, were all located here during the College’s transition from Manhattan to Westchester County. Today it is the home of NYMC’s Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, the Basic Sciences Building (BSB) has approximately 122,000 square feet of laboratory and office space dedicated to research. The space is configured as open laboratories with core instrument areas in order to provide maximum flexibility for the recruitment of top-level faculty scientists.

   13. The Thomas and Alice Marie Hales Lobby (BSB Lobby)

       The Thomas and Alice Marie Hales Lobby, colloquially known as the BSB Lobby, is located within the Basic Sciences Building (BSB). Arguably the most central and frequently traversed place on the college campus, is a welcoming oasis, nestled in the busy landscape of research labs, teaching facilities, Phillip Capozzi, M.D., Library, bookstore and Doc’s café.

        

       The 2009 renovation and redesign of this campus hub of activity was made possible in part by a donation from trustee Thomas E. Hales and his wife Alice Marie Hales. A modern look, with a nod to school spirit through its use of the school colors, maroon and ochre, embodies the décor. 

        

       Designated seating areas are arranged to serve different purposes, where groups of students might gather for study or socialization, while others are designed for more intimate conversations or relaxation between classes. But the design feature that makes the lobby and its environs unique to New York Medical College is the original artwork. Six panels of graphic art in a motif of trees and leaves line the walls and adjacent hallway. Through a series of historical photos, the panels mark important milestones along the fascinating journey the College has taken throughout its history. Street scenes, buildings, laboratories and classrooms from the late 1800s onward are all part of the story. So are key figures in the school’s history, like Clemence Sophia Lozier, M.D., William Cullen Bryant and Cardinal Terence Cooke. Quotations from noted thinkers such as John F. Kennedy, Marcus Aurelius , Oliver Wendell Holmes and William Butler Yeats bring the school’s evolution full circle, impressing upon the readers the impact that medicine, science and an abiding concern for humanity have had upon the College and the world at large. People can walk through the lobby and gain an understanding of how the College is rooted in a long span of history, one that will go on long after they have graduated.

       ______________________ 

        

       Col. Melvin D. Freeman, a member of the Board of Trustees from 1993-2008, and his wife Helen Yuder Freeman held a revered place among the NYMC's most steadfast supporters. Both individually and as a couple, the two were longtime benefactors of programs in research, education and student life. Their generosity made dozens of advances and improvements possible, from student research programs, equipment purchases, renovations and capital improvements, to social and cultural events for students as well as scholarships. In 1999, at the College’s 140th Commencement, the Freemans were each awarded an honorary doctor of humane letters degree. Family members say the two were deeply touched by the honor and spoke of it often and with pride. Beginning with the re-establishment of the Parents’ Council when their daughter Susan entered the School of Medicine in 1975, Mel and Helen Freeman were a driving force behind many programs and projects, with a special affinity for the basic sciences. They funded a protein sequencer, a motorized fluorescent microscope, the construction of several multipurpose rooms in the Health Sciences Library, a teaching laboratory, a conference room in the graduate school and a dining room annex to the main cafeteria. Until his illness, he was director of psychological services at Federation Employment and Guidance Service, a non-profit human services agency. For 31 years he proudly served in the U.S. Air Force on active duty and in the reserves. Col. Freeman succumbed to cancer on August 26, 2008, at the age of 89.

   22. Core Facilities & Shared Resources

       New York Medical College provides state-of-the-art core research facilities that benefit the community at large through advances in medical research. More than half of the College's research is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), conducted by more than 150 basic and clinical scientists working here and at our affiliated hospitals. Researchers also collaborate with biopharmaceutical companies seeking to discover new platform technologies or product ideas. 
       
       In 2020, a grant proposal team made up of nearly 20 NYMC faculty secured a Shared Instrumentation Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which was used to purchase a new high-resolution confocal microscope. This new microscope will be critical to the College’s biomedical research. The confocal system allows NYMC’s researchers to quantitatively visualize dynamic processes in living specimens gently over extended periods of time (4D imaging). The increased sensitivity and high resolution will be particularly valuable to image thicker tissue sections/slices in a wide variety of biological specimens.

       What is now known as Westchester Medical Center began in 1918 when the U.S. Army took over county buildings to set up an Army Hospital for treating troops affected by the Spanish Influenza epidemic.  In 1920, the Army returned the buildings to the Westchester County government as a fully equipped hospital.

       After renaming the campus Grasslands Hospital, the county began caring for those suffering from several prevalent diseases of the 1920s and 1930s. Entire buildings were devoted to treating both adult and child patients with tuberculosis, and the center eventually became a center for treating victims of other great medical illnesses such as polio, scarlet fever and diphtheria during the early and mid 20th century.

        

       Staffed largely by volunteer physicians during its early history, Grasslands Hospital was one of the first public institutions to establish a Renal Dialysis Unit and a cardiovascular service, which earned an outstanding reputation that still endures today.
