Dr. Samuel Levine conducts pioneer research in the 1930s and '40s on infants’ formulas and respiratory metabolism of premature infants. In 1948, the Premature Unit, one of the first in the nation, is established as a regional center for New York County.
Later in 1975, the Perinatology Center, led by Dr. Peter Auld, continues the tradition of providing advanced, state of the art care for premature infants.
