Support Dr. Kim Glassman

Kim Glassman, PhD, RN, FAAN has been contributing her expertise to NYU Langone Health for four decades. Now she has been honored with an endowed directorship that acknowledges her leadership in health promotion—the first of its kind in the country.

Dr. Glassman was recently named Lerner Director for Health Promotion at NYU Langone. The newly endowed position, in the Departments of Nursing and Patient Care Services, recognizes Dr. Glassman’s innovations in helping NYU Langone attain some of the top patient outcomes and satisfaction ratings nationwide. In this new role, Dr. Glassman will provide vision and leadership for the integration of health and wellness practices, with a focus on a holistic approach to care for both patients and our own staff. Her new directorship makes her one of just four chief nursing officers nationwide to receive an endowed title. It comes in addition to Dr. Glassman’s current roles as senior vice president for Patient Care Services and chief nursing officer at NYU Langone Health, and associate dean for Partnership Innovation at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. 

As part of the new role, Dr. Glassman will lead efforts to develop population-level interventions that can be applied before, during, and after treatment, that promote healing and motivate life-long healthy habits. There will also be a focus on promoting health among staff, particularly nurses and other frontline patient care staff. The role also strengthens the partnership between NYU Langone and the Rory Meyers College of Nursing, by supporting nurse education and training, including classes in holistic nursing practice for both self- and patient care.
