Representatives from the nonprofit Needlers Foundation, which raises funds to support underprivileged children in need of neurosurgery, brought joy to pediatric patients in December when they visited Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital with loads of donated toys.
“We are incredibly appreciative of their partnership and collaboration,” says Alejandro Berenstein, MD, Director of the Pediatric Cerebrovascular Surgery Program and Hyman-Newman Institute for Neurology and Neurosurgery at Kravis Children’s Hospital, who has partnered with the nonprofit organization for more than 20 years.
“The Needlers Foundation is a unique group of individuals who are dedicated to helping the most fragile individuals in our society, children whose families are unable to pay for their medical care or have to travel great distances to access care. With their support, we have been able to help more than 350 children since 1995.”
