On September 28th, The Children’s Medical Fund of New York (CMF) had a Bingo Night at the Lutheran Church in New York at 420 Stewart Avenue. The event, to raise money for CMF, where Corey Ribotsky is the President, included a bingo card, snacks, drinks and favors for each child who participated. Raffles were involved as well, with great prizes for kids which included DVDs, puzzles, arts and crafts, DS games, LEGOs and more.

All proceeds from the well-organized event benefit the Child Life Program at Cohen Children’s Hospital of the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System.

The Child Life Program

In addition to its many other accomplishments, the Children’s Medical Fund of New York has pioneered a program called the Child Life Program. This program helps children and their families to better cope with the experience of staying in a hospital. They have highly trained Child Life Specialists who help to minimize the stress that the children feel while they are ill or injured.

The Children’s Medical Fund, with President Corey Ribotsky and Chairman David Blumenfeld, initiated this program to enhance the offerings at Schneider Children’s Hospital so that children would be more comfortable. Such offerings include the Clown Care Unit, Pet Therapy, the Heather on Earth Music Therapy program and more.

As part of this unique program, every floor at the hospital has a designated room where children can enjoy themselves, and where not procedures or check-ups are conducted. Their annual commitment to the Child Life Program is approximately $400,000 and certainly requires a great deal of fundraising efforts.

Raising Money for The Children’s Medical Fund

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.

Corey Ribotsky & the Children’s Medical Fund

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!
