Seems like an asshole. He was a co founder decades ago. As far as I can tell he doesn't have any current role with HD

This from Wikipedia

Langone has donated $300 million to the NYU School of Medicine and NYU Medical Center (later named NYU Langone Health in his honor); this includes a $100 million pledge in 2018 toward a $450 million program to make tuition free for all medical students at the NYU School of Medicine.

Langone has been a member of the boards of trustees of NYU Langone Health, the Harlem Children's Zone, the Robin Hood Foundation, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He was a member of the Bucknell University board of trustees from 1981 to 1996, he and his wife gave $11 million to the university in 1999, to fund a new athletics center, and approximately $42 million to the university between 2013 and 2017.

In 2019, he donated over $5 million to the Animal Medical Center in New York City.
