Florence Irving has given $600 million to the Columbia University Irving Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center for cancer research and patient care, the two institutions announced today.
Ms. Irving is the widow of Herbert Irving, a co-founder and former vice chairman of Sysco Corporation. He died last year at 98.
The couple had previously given the two institutions gifts totaling about $100 million. This new infusion of money will enable the two medical centers to hire more scientists, physicians, and other staff dedicated to improving patient care and radiation therapy, creating new surgical practices, and developing new patient therapies.
