With its deep commitment to medical education and research,
Winthrop successfully blends the progressive philosophy, sophistication
and advances of a teaching and research institution with
a very personal approach to patient care. The Hospital’s longstanding
academic mission was strengthened in 2011 when
Winthrop became a Clinical Campus of the Stony Brook
University School of Medicine, educating 80 third- and fourthyear
medical students each year, and making Winthrop the
only Long Island hospital training students under this model.
Members of Winthrop’s senior administration and Board of Directors recently
gathered to mark the groundbreaking of the new Research Institute. Pictured (l.-r.)

Chief Operating Officer; Winthrop Board Member Edward Travaglianti; Palmira
Cataliotti, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; John F. Collins,
Winthrop’s President & CEO; Charles M. Strain, Chairman of the Board of
Directors at Winthrop; Alan Jacobson, MD, Chief Research Officer; Virginia
Peragallo-Dittko, RN, Executive Director of Winthrop’s Diabetes and Obesity
Institute; and John F. Aloia, MD, Winthrop’s Chief Academic Officer.
Further underscoring the importance of medical education
and research, Winthrop recently broke ground on
a new four-floor, 95,000-square-foot Research
Institute that will include core laboratories and a
Clinical Trial Center for the Hospital’s research
team. The Institute will also feature a large lecture
hall, a simulation lab and training rooms where
students will have the opportunity to learn from
Winthrop’s physician-teachers.
“The future of medicine lies in the ability to
transform cutting-edge discoveries made in the
laboratory into real-life treatments for patients
suffering from debilitating illnesses such as diabetes,
cardiometabolic disease, Alzheimer’s disease and
arthritis,” said John Collins, President & CEO of
Winthrop-University Hospital. “The effective transition
of new discoveries from the ‘bench to
bedside’ is the vision and goal upon which the
Winthrop Research Institute is focused.”
