The gold standard by which literary, musical and journalistic works are judged, the Pulitzer Prize has recognized the contributions of America's authors for 100 years. Established in 1917, the award was created out of a request in newspaper publisher Joseph Pultizer's last will and testament. In addition to the foundation of a journalism school at Columbia University, he sought to create an award that would recognized literary achievements of the country's greatest writers.
A century later, the prize is still awarded in 21 categories each April by a 19-member board at Columbia University. The committee awards writers in categories ranging from fiction and poetry to breaking news reporting and feature writing. The Pulitzer Prize has been awarded to some of the most venerable names in American writing; Robert Frost, Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, David McCullough and others have all won the award at least once.
Much like Pultizer Prize winning writers, the doctors and staff at Westchester Medical Center have garnered national recognition for more than 100 years. From emergency services to holistic care, WMCHealth Network has created a legacy of care in the community.
Westchester Medical Center, the flagship of the WMCHealth Network, is celebrating 100 years of Advancing Care. Here.
