The Children’s Medical Fund of New York Supports Local Hospital

The Children’s Medical Fund of New York (CMFNY) has been rooted in the community since its inception in 1966 and has continued to offer philanthropic support to the Cohen Children’s Medical Center, its staff, patients, and families, recognizing the importance of lending a helping hand.

Amid COVID-19 the Fund continues to fulfill its mission by coordinating deliveries of meals from local restaurants to the dedicated medical staff at the Cohen Children’s Medical Center Blumenfeld Pavilion.

The Fund recently coordinated a meal delivery from Oceanside’s Long Island Bagel Café to the healthcare professionals working in the Blumenfeld Pavilion, the home of the Rudolph Emergency Department, Long Island’s only pediatric facility.

“As soon as the scope of the pandemic became apparent, our board members immediately jumped into action, finding ways to show our love and support for the brave doctors and nurses on the frontlines,” said Brad Blumenfeld, Trustee, Children’s Medical Fund of New York. “We will continue to do whatever we can to lessen their stress during this challenging time.”

Howard Tanney, President, Children’s Medical Fund of New York added, “At CMFNY we’re constantly looking for new ways to support the Cohen Children’s Medical Center staff, patients and their families throughout the year especially during this very difficult time. We are honored to provide meals and say ‘thank you’ and ‘we’re thinking of you’ as the staff – our front line heroes – work 24 hours a day 7 days a week to keep us safe.”
