Dr. Langer is still the chair of the department of neurosurgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, as well as vice president of neurosurgery for Northwell Health Western Region. When the pandemic forced a reduction of elective surgeries in New York, Dr. Langer picked up shifts at the Javits Centre in Manhattan, where a temporary hospital was constructed to help manage the large number of COVID-19 patients who had overwhelmed the healthcare system. He has spoken publicly about those efforts and also remains committed to treating and even raising money for patients with neurovascular disease.
