Corey Ribotsky News

Last week, a Long Island boy who was born with a totally blocked airway, heading home after four months in Schneider Children’s Hospital of the North Shore-LIJ Health System. This condition has only been reported 50 times in the past 20 years, and the family, Derly and Julian Olivares, were extremely thankful to the entire team that helped them over the past months.

In utero, the baby’s condition, known as CHAOS (Congenital High Airway Obstruction Syndrome) was detected during a prenatal exam at LIJ. The baby’s airway failed to develop, and doctors ended up inducing birth at 36 weeks and surgically creating an air passage for the baby while he was still attached to the placenta.

This happy ending is one example of the exceptional work that the North Shore/LIJ University Health System can take credit for with the contributions and support from people like Corey Ribotsky who is on the Board of Trustees.

The Children’s Medical Fund of New York (CMF) works tirelessly to ensure that every child receives the best medical care possible. As President of CMS and Managing Member of the NIR Group, Corey Ribotsky works with many other volunteers to see the center’s missions fulfilled.

Presently, CMF is hoping to expand in many ways. They are hoping to build a dedicated pediatric emergency center so that they will no longer have to share an emergency room with Long Island Jewish Medical Center. At the moment, seriously ill children need to go to Long Island Jewish, unnecessarily exposing them to illnesses and issues common to an adult facility.

In addition, the Children’s Medical Fund of New York is hoping to create a new space to meet the growing pediatric needs of children in the area. At present, the Schneider Children’s Hospital, which was built to accommodate 40,000 annual visits, actually sees 160,000 children a year.

On January 5th Cyberlux Corporation announced that it has resolved its litigation with the NIR Group and its affiliates.

The Chairman of the NIR Group, Corey Ribotsky, explained that, “Litigation is a last resort for our family of funds. We are encouraged by the progress that Mr. Schmidt (CEO of Cyberlux) and the Cyberlux team have made and we support their efforts to develop Cyberlux’s business.”

Mark Schmidt, the Chief Executive Officer of Cyberlux remarked, “We are pleased to conclude the litigation. Cyberlux will now be able to devote its full resources to developing and marketing its state-of-the-art lighting solutions.”

Cyberlux is a major provider of LED lighting solutions and technologies.

Children’s Medical Fund of New York (CMF) works to make sure that children on Long Island and in the New York area have the best pediatric care possible. They do so by raising funds to help build and equip state of the art facilities and by sponsoring vital programs.

Volunteers, such as Corey Ribotsky who is the current President of CMF and the managing member of NIR, and donors help children to live healthier, safer lives.

One major project that CMF is undertaking at the moment is the creation of a new space to meet the region’s growing demands for pediatric services. Their present building, the Schneider Children’s Hospital (SCH) was built in 1983 and was supposed to accommodate 40,000 annual visits. Today, it accommodates four times that amount!
