Einstein’s Community Advisory Council was established in 2003 to act as liaison for and foster open communications between the medical school and its surrounding communities. The membership consists of elected officials or their representatives, leaders of civic and religious organizations and community associations, neighborhood activists and individuals representing the Einstein administration. Currently serving as co-chairs are the Honorable Douglas McKeon, presiding justice of the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the First Judicial Department, and Nathan Kahn, a member of the Einstein Board of Overseers.

Council meetings typically consist of Einstein staff members making presentations on topics including school infrastructure, funding issues and health care public policy trends. A presentation about a specific health topic affecting residents and the local community also is made by one the College of Medicine’s top directors or researchers.

Council members are given the opportunity to ask questions and raise concerns about how specific projects and conditions may affect Morris Park and surrounding areas. The goal is to create an ongoing dialogue that helps to prevent conflicts and insures a smooth relationship between Einstein and its neighboring community, consisting largely of small businesses and homeowners.
