Six students from Washington Heights and Inwood are preparing to enter college with the assistance of the Lang Youth Medical Program for middle and high school students at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital -- the only hospital-based medical mentoring program of its kind in New York City. The six students will be the Lang Program's first graduates, honored in a ceremony on June 16, starting at 5:30 p.m. at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, 3959 Broadway at 165th Street. The Lang Youth Medical Program is a six-year science education and mentoring program for middle and high school students in Washington Heights and Inwood. Working alongside doctors and researchers in a hospital setting, they learn about medical technology, observe operations and attend medical lectures. The Lang Program is entirely funded through donations and is dependent on support to continue the work first started by noted philanthropist and program founder Eugene M. Lang.
