QUEENS, N.Y. – Teachers Federal Credit Union has made a $340,000 donation to Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New York, which it said will support the hospital's greatest needs, including life-saving medical equipment, clinical care, and research.
The donation was presented by President and CEO Brad Calhoun during a ceremony held at Cohen Children’s Medical Center, and were accepted by Dr. Jose Prince, pediatric chief of surgery and star of the Netflix series “Emergency NYC.”
“At Teachers, we are deeply committed to making a positive impact in our communities,” Calhoun said in a statement. “It is an honor to support Cohen Children’s Medical Center in their mission to provide essential and critical care to children. Together, we can bring hope to the children and families who need it most.”
The $9.8-billion Teachers FCU said the donation was part of its ongoing partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals with the funds raised as part of the CU’s ongoing fundraising efforts, including its recent annual golf tournament, which raised more than $600,000.
‘Beyond Valuable’
“The support from Teachers Federal Credit Union is beyond valuable in helping us change lives,” Dr. Prince said in a statement. “This generous donation directly impacts our ability to provide world-class care and innovative treatments to children in need, and is a testament to what can be achieved when organizations and medical institutions come together with a shared purpose.”
