You could say Laura Forese, MD, has been preparing for a leadership role at NewYork-Presbyterian all her life. She grew up just outside New York City, spent two adolescent years in France, and graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton University with a degree in civil engineering. She then graduated Alpha Omega Alpha
from Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons, and received a master’s degree from the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.
