Samuel D. Leidesdorf Associates

This loyal group of alumni honors the memory of Samuel D. Leidesdorf, who was chairman of the board of NYU Medical Center from 1956 to 1968, and an honorary member of the School of Medicine Alumni Association. More than any other, he foresaw the pressing need to build a tertiary care hospital facility for the School of Medicine. Mr. Leidesdorf led the fundraising campaign to establish University Hospital, now Tisch Hospital, and immersed himself in a full spectrum of activities to ensure his vision of a comprehensive "medical center campus" would be transformed into reality.
