CONGRESSMAN STEVEN ROTHMAN SECURES FUNDING FOR WOMEN’S AND CHILDREN’S SERVICES AT MEDICAL CENTER
New Jersey Congressman Steven Rothman (D-NJ) recently presented Hackensack University Medical Center with a check for $240,000. The monies secured from the departments of Health and Human Services and Housing and Urban Development will be used for women’s and children’s services at the medical center. A longtime supporter of the medical center, Congressman Rothman has helped raise over $3.3 million for women’s and children’s services at HUMC, including funding for The Audrey Hepburn Children’s House, a state-designated Regional Diagnostic Center for Child Abuse and Neglect. Scheduled to be completed in late 2005, the now-under construction 300,000 square foot Sarkis Gabrellian Women’s and Children’s Pavilion will house The Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital, The Women’s Hospital, and The Mark Messier Skyway for Tomorrows Children. The total cost of the project will be $117 million, with $45 million coming through the Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation in the form of philanthropic gifts.
The Tomorrows Children’s Fund has made the largest donation to the new pavilion. The Auxiliary will help support an expanded Pediatric Emergency Department.
