Summary

Weill Cornell Medicine is taking bold steps to prevent sexual abuse after a former doctor, Darius Paduch, received a life sentence for abusing male patients as young as thirteen over a decade. Facing federal charges and hundreds of civil lawsuits, the hospital system is now pledging $30 million to launch a national institute focused on safer patient care — part of a $1 billion settlement already paid to victims. This follows a troubling pattern of abuse by medical staff in the New York-Presbyterian network, underscoring the urgent need for systemic change to protect patients and restore trust.
