Message from the Co-Directors
Fulfilling their joint vision of a comprehensive liver treatment center, Drs. Jean C. Emond and Robert S. Brown, Jr., have renewed their past clinical association by becoming co-directors of the Center for Liver Disease and Transplantation. 
Clinical Milestones
The CLDT was fully approved as a liver transplant center in July 1997 after extensive review and consideration by the New York State Department of Health. Statistics complied already compare favorably to established programs elsewhere. 
A strong background for a new program is provided by New York Presbyterian Hospital and the research expertise of two world renowned medical teaching institutions.
The CLDT's innovative clinical procedures and outcomes analyses are supported by Columbia and Cornell Universities, the premier teaching institutions that sponsor the Center's ongoing clincal and scientific research.
