Carl Icahn, the billionaire investor known for pushing takeovers and management shakeups, pledged $200 million to the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, the biggest donation ever given to the New York City teaching hospital.
The hospital on Manhattan’s Upper East Side will be renamed the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, according to Jeanne Bernard, a Mount Sinai spokeswoman. Most of the money will be used to build research capabilities, she said in a telephone interview today.
