Donors Committed to Community and Equity
“It gives Margery and me enormous pleasure to marry two things we care about deeply with this gift: ensuring that New Milford Hospital/Northwell can continue to provide first-rate health care to our community and ensuring that women receive the gender-specific care that they require,” Levin said. “It’s clear to me as a physician and as a health care innovator that medical needs differ between men and women and that historically, the medical system has been oriented toward men or toward gender-neutral care.”
“We’re thrilled that our gift and the other exceptional gifts pledged toward the New Milford Hospital Women’s Wellness Center will address an enormous unmet need by providing a comprehensive range of women-specific health care,” Feldberg said,
