Cantor's Widow Gives $20 Million for Men's Health

Philanthropist Iris Cantor wants men to see their doctors.

The widow of B. Gerald "Bernie" Cantor, cofounder of global securities firm Cantor Fitzgerald, is giving $20 million to New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center to create the Iris Cantor Men's Health Center, a one-stop shop to provide medical care for men with a focus on internal medicine, urology and cardiology.

The men's health center, which will be completed in 2012, will allow patients to see a number of doctors in the same day, coming in during the morning and leaving the center by noon. Doctors will also be able to coordinate patient care among one another.

"Men are busy, stubborn and tough. It's hard to get them in for a checkup, let alone from one doctor to another," says Mrs. Cantor, a native of Brooklyn who now lives in Palm Beach, Fla.. "Then when you finally get them to the doctor, they have so many darn things wrong with them."

Mrs. Cantor points out that her husband, who died in 1996 of kidney disease, was an exception, "Bernie always went to the doctor," she says.

One in five men didn't see a physician at all in 2007, the last year in which data are available from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. That compares with one in 10 women, who didn't see a doctor.

"Men can't leave work and go from doctor to doctor. One-stop shopping makes it easier and more accessible," Mrs. Cantor says.

The idea of a center focused on men came to Mrs. Cantor after decades of focusing on women's health care. After her sister died of breast cancer, she wanted to create a place where women could go to receive comprehensive health services designed around the specific needs of women.
She created women's health centers at the UCLA Health System in 1995 and New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in 2002.

The centers were a success, she says, but men soon began to make up nearly 40% of the center's patients. "Through this gift, we are providing men with a center of their own and kicking them out of the women's center," Mrs. Cantor says.

Mrs. Cantor and her husband created their family foundation in 1978. After Mr. Cantor's death in 1996, she took over to continue fulfilling what she calls the "body and soul," focusing on health and art.
The couple are best known for their collection of art work by Auguste Rodin, some 750 pieces and the largest in the world, of which 450 have been donated to institutions. Last month, she gave 29 Rodin sculptures to help expand the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh and continues to circulate traveling exhibitions across the U.S., Australia, Canada, Japan and Singapore.
