As a physician, there is nothing more important than the health of a child and when a healthy child goes to school, they learn more. I am inspired everyday by the dedication and selfless commitment The New York Foundling does to provide access to healthcare and education to the underserved communities of New York. I am truly privileged to be able to help them in their mission to assist these children to achieve their potential.”
