On account of the worst economic outlook in 75 years, charities and non-profits across America have experienced dramatic cutbacks in support, particularly where donations are concerned. But there has been no cutback where Robert Toussie and philanthropy are involved. Toussie, who ranks among the most successful entrepreneurs of all New York, continues his close relationship with the New York University School of Medicine and still donates both his money and his good name as a local and cosmopolitan humanitarian to raise funds on behalf of the NYU Medical Center.
Robert Toussie employs a multi-faceted approach to good deeds. His support is as diverse as it is prolific. Toussie’s big-hearted donations are shared among several different offices of the Medical Center, including those dealing with such critical matters as orthopedic surgery, dermatology, surgery and plastic surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and infectious diseases and immunology.
The orthopedic surgery programs at the NYU Medical Center have helped treat such like sports injuries, joint pain, tumors, and carpal tunnel syndrome, even as the immunology programs help HIV patients fight deficiencies in their immune systems, and help cancer patients through chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Established in 1841, the NYU Medical School is situated on First Avenue in New York City and is home to the School of Medicine, the Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, and the Charles C. Harris Skin and Cancer Pavilion, which is widely regarded as being one of the most prestigious and respected dermatology institutes in the nation. Toussie family donations to the dermatology programs at the NYU Medical School have greatly assisted in treating skin cancers, benefiting skin graft patients, and involve even less severe conditions like hair and tattoo removal.
The Toussie family has a long tradition of involvement with New York University, and the philanthropic spirit is a Toussie family affair, with son Isaac Toussie, who received magna cum laude honors from the NYU Stern School of Business, continuing his father’s charitable mission. For more than a decade, this continued effort to pay back the community has moved from Robert Toussie’s lone undertaking to an honored Toussie family tradition. Robert’s son, Isaac Toussie, has carried the family’s good works trying to better the quality of life of those less fortunate, working with numerous charities involving the sick, blind and poor across the land. It is a proven fact that thousands of people have benefited from Toussies’ medical largess, with lives being saved, suffering much abated, and illnesses successfully treated or even cured outright in some cases.
