July 2012: Iris Cantor Men’s Health Center Opens
The first of its kind in the region, the Iris Cantor Men’s Health Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center was dedicated and opened its doors in July 2012. It’s a bright, open and high-tech environment where internists and urologists provide men with full-service health care, from heart rate to prostate. The Center offers men the same kind of comprehensive care the Iris Cantor Women’s Health Center has provided to women since it opened a decade ago. Both Iris Cantor Centers, as envisioned by their founder Iris Cantor, reflect the trend in healthcare that has gradually shifted from detecting and responding to illness with medication and treatment, to a philosophy that encourages preventive measures and healthy lifestyles. The new Men’s Health Center occupies 9,500 square feet on the 12th floor of 425 East 61st Street in Manhattan, the same building as the Iris Cantor Women’s Health Center. The proximity of the two Centers to each other enables couples to schedule their health care appointments at the same time.
