International Services
NewYork-Presbyterian's International Services Department provides an unsurpassed level of personal attention and service to the patients traveling far from home for their medical care. From the moment a patient, referring physician, or family member contacts the International Center at either of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital's flagship centers – NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center or NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center – a dedicated staff of specially trained representatives provide a variety of services designed to make patients feel at home.
