NEW YORK, April 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- First Fidelity Brokerage, Inc. a leading independent insurance broker, has been awarded a contract to insure the prestigious Weill Cornell Medical College in Manhattan.      

Eugene B. Podokshik, President and CEO of First Fidelity Brokerage, said his firm competed against the global brokers for this iconic institution.
