Our History
Founded in 1992, the Infectious Diseases Society of New York (IDSNY) was established by a group of dedicated infectious disease physicians who recognized the need for a local professional organization focused on the unique challenges facing New York's diverse population.
Over the past three decades, IDSNY has grown from a small group of founding members to a vibrant community of over 500 infectious disease specialists, researchers, and healthcare professionals across New York State.
Throughout our history, IDSNY has played a crucial role in addressing major infectious disease challenges, from the HIV/AIDS epidemic to the COVID-19 pandemic, providing guidance, education, and advocacy for healthcare professionals and the public.
Today, IDSNY continues to evolve to meet the changing landscape of infectious diseases, embracing new technologies, research methodologies, and collaborative approaches to improve health outcomes for all New Yorkers.
