The Rockland County Town of Orangetown's Impact On The World
Not a scholarly document, just one person's amazement of what incredible world-wide known entities Orangetown quietly hosts.

My story, which uses some of the information of WIKIBOT, begins with what we all knew/know as Lederle Laboratories in Orangetown’s hamlet of Pearl River. It was/is the medical cohort of a business that had many world -wide names such as American Cyanamid + American Home Products + Wyeth + its present name of Pfizer, which is talked about every day on every TV and newspaper vis a vis our pandemic - the Pfizer-Biotech covid-19 vaccine. Yes indeed, this Pearl River site is where the vacination you may have had was partially developed.
And it has played a world-wide role for decades with a special role in the world's greatest war, WWII. Just some of its products - Gas gangrene, small p0x, typhus vaccines and most recently the .Pfizer-Biotech covid-19 vaccine.
Moving on to the Columbia University's Scientific Research Center, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in the Orangetown hamlet of Palisades since 1949. It's mission is "developing fundamental climate and earth sciences vis a vis the origin, evolution and future of the natural world." Need I say more ?

Next is the New York State Department of Mental Health Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research on the New York State Rockland Psychiatric Center campus in the Orangetown hamlet of Orangeburg. It has an international reputation for its pioneering contributions in psychiatric research, especially in the areas of psychopharmacological treatments for schizophrenia and major mood disorders. Since 1952, interdisciplinary teams of distinguished NKI scientists have applied their talents and expertise to study the etiology, treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation of severe and persistent mental illnesses. Some of the sentences are from Wikibot.
Yes, the above have changed the world in many good ways while being very good neighbors.
