Donald Moore ’76, Biology, Pre-med, a former attending physician at New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, has been appointed by Governor Kathy Hochul to serve on SUNY Downstate’s community advisory board, along with seven other individuals.
The board is part of an historic investment by Governor Hochul and the state legislature of $300 million in capital funding and $100 million in operating funding for the modernization and revitalization of SUNY Downstate, and is tasked with making recommendations to develop a “reasonable, scalable, and fiscally responsible plan for the financial health, viability, and sustainability of SUNY Downstate Hospital and SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University.”
