Columbia Children's Gala

On Monday, May 6, 2024, Columbia Children’s Health will host the tenth annual Columbia Children’s Gala at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

Columbia Children’s Health is deeply committed to reshaping the landscape of pediatric precision medicine. We care for the youngest and most vulnerable patients who come to us seeking answers from world renowned experts. Precision medicine is medical diagnosis, prevention, and treatment based on an individual’s variation in genes, environment, and lifestyle. Serving as a destination for families, Columbia provides timely and accurate diagnoses, groundbreaking scientific research, and implements these discoveries into precise and useful therapeutic interventions for effective treatments.

Columbia Children’s Health, ranked a part of the number one children’s hospital in the region, supports patients and families from all different backgrounds who face these unique set of challenges that can lead to greater emotional and economic burdens, regardless of how novel or complex their diagnoses.

The Columbia Children’s Gala remains a crucial fundraising tool for the Department of Pediatrics to advance our care. Funds raised at the event will support the efforts of Columbia’s multidisciplinary teams to continue their work in pediatric precision medicine and elevate healthcare for all children in our community and around the world.
