More than 200 leaders from Westchester’s commercial real estate community attended the Building Owners and Managers Association of Westchester (BOMA) 34th annual Hall of Honor Awards Dinner on May 8. The dinner, which was held at Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown, honored NewYork-Presbyterian and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for their contributions to Westchester’s economy. BOMA also presented the President’s Award to Ronald McDonald House Westchester.
NewYork-Presbyterian is one of the nation’s most comprehensive, integrated academic health-care systems, encompassing 10 hospitals across Greater New York, nearly 350 locations, including primary and specialty care clinics and medical groups with world-class doctors from Columbia and Weill Cornell Medicine, and an array of telemedicine services. A leader in medical education, NewYork-Presbyterian is affiliated with two renowned medical schools, Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. NewYork-Presbyterian provides exceptional care in Westchester and Hudson Valley. Patients can access comprehensive care and a full range of services at more than 100 facilities throughout the region, including NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester, NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester Behavioral Health, NewYork-Presbyterian The One, and convenient medical group locations. NewYork-Presbyterian recently opened a center for advanced care in Westchester, NewYork-Presbyterian The One, delivering an unmatched patient experience with world-class doctors from Columbia. The 225,000-square foot facility, centrally located in White Plains, offers adult and pediatric care spanning more than 90 specialties and subspecialties, so patients can find the care they and their families need in one convenient location.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals is a leading biotechnology company that invents, develops and commercializes life-transforming medicines for serious diseases. Founded and led by physician-scientists, Regeneron has repeatedly translated science into medicine, resulting in 14 Regeneron-invented treatments and about 45 product candidates in development-most discovered in its Tarrytown laboratories. Its medicines and pipeline address eye diseases, allergic and inflammatory diseases, cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, neurological diseases, hematologic conditions, infectious diseases and rare diseases. Regeneron’s portfolio of medicines includes four marketed “blockbusters” that help millions of patients and generate resources to invest in future innovation. In 2025, total revenues grew to $14.3 billion, and the company employed over 15,000 people across three continents. Regeneron also reported clinical data with near-term potential impact in melanoma, multiple myeloma, obesity and rare diseases; and launched two new blood cancer treatments. Regeneron plans to invest $6 billion in R&D in 2026 and $9 billion in U.S. manufacturing and infrastructure in coming years. Regeneron is committed to corporate responsibility, focusing on improving patients’ lives, fostering integrity and excellence and building sustainable communities, including major investments in STEM education programs.
