NYU Langone Health CEO Robert Grossman and the medical center\u2019s namesake Kenneth Langone, who chairs its board of trustees, will retire next year, Grossman announced Wednesday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A national search for Grossman\u2019s successor \u201cwill begin soon\u201d ahead of his retirement in August 2025, NYU Langone spokesperson Steve Ritea told WSN. Ritea also said Fiona Druckenmiller, co-chair of the board of trustees for the past seven years, will assume Langone\u2019s position as the sole chair of the board next summer. Langone will stay on the board as a member.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese leadership transitions follow years of careful succession planning to ensure NYU Langone was fully prepared for this transition, remaining a world-class institution,\u201d Ritea wrote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a message to the NYU Langone community, Grossman \u2014 who will also step down from his position as dean of the NYU Grossman School of Medicine \u2014 said his time at the medical center has been \u201cimmensely gratifying.\u201d Since Grossman\u2019s tenure began in 2007, <\/span>NYU Langone\u2019s revenue grew<\/span><\/a> from $2 billion to over $12 billion, including more than $4.9 billion in philanthropy. The center has also seen a rise in donations in the last 17 years, with its research awards from the National Institutes of Health having risen from $129 million to $815 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI take enormous pride in each and every one of your efforts that have enabled this achievement,\u201d Grossman said in the message. \u201cWithout you, it never would have been possible. But all good things must come to an end.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Under Grossman\u2019s leadership, NYU Langone saw the employment of over 49,000 people across more than 300 sites in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Florida. In the fall, NYU Langone <\/span>received the highest possible safety grade<\/span><\/a> for the seventh time, based on assessments of the hospital\u2019s harm-prevention measures and number of accidents, injuries and infections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Langone, who made his fortune as co-founder of Home Depot, became the medical center\u2019s namesake in 2008 after he and his wife, Elaine Langone, made a $200 million donation \u2014 the largest in its history. Last summer, the couple <\/span>donated another $200 million<\/span><\/a> to help the NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine guarantee tuition-free scholarships for all students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Grossman and Langone\u2019s stepping down comes amid a turbulent time for the medical center, which has faced several lawsuits related to unlawful termination, <\/span>gender discrimination<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>disability discrimination<\/span><\/a> among other allegations in recent years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This past academic year, NYU Langone underwent a series of removals and terminations due to workplace tensions over the war in Gaza. In November, the medical center <\/span>removed a physician from his residency program<\/span><\/a> after he posted a story in support of Palestinian resistance on his private Instagram account. More recently, the medical center <\/span>fired a nurse<\/span><\/a> after she spoke about the suffering of women in Gaza in an acceptance speech for a labor award. <\/span><\/p>\n

The former director of NYU Langone\u2019s Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center was also terminated after making social media posts related to the war, which some have called \u201cracist\u201d and \u201canti-Arab.\u201d Benjamin Neel, the former director, has since filed a lawsuit<\/a> against the medical center, citing email conversations between himself and other NYU Langone administrators, including Grossman, claiming they shared similar sentiments on the conflict. According to the complaint, Grossman allegedly argued that NYU should revoke scholarships from students who protest against Israel and that universities \u201cinterpret free speech to benefit their own political interests.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
