New York, NY (October 15, 2002) -- The NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital today announced plans to establish the Jay Monahan Center for Gastrointestinal Health at the Hospital's NewYork Weill Cornell Medical Center site. Opening in early 2004, the Center -- providing all services under one roof -- will be specifically and comprehensively dedicated to gastrointestinal health, from detection and treatment to education, prevention, and research. The Center is named in honor of Jay Monahan, the late husband of NBC "TODAY" show co-anchor Katie Couric, who died of colon cancer at age 42 in 1998. Since then, Couric has actively worked to raise awareness about colon cancer and has committed -- along with the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) -- to help the Hospital raise a substantial portion of the approximately $9 million needed to create the Center.Vision for Monahan Center
