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.
