As they further their mission to create a dedicated Children’s Emergency Treatment Center at Staten Island University Hospital’s (SIUH) South Site, the Emergency Children’s Health Organization (ECHO) donated an additional $200,000 on top of the initial $100,000 presented last year to the hospital. The donation is part of their $500,000 total commitment to the project.

Designed to serve the fastest growing community in New York City, the new treatment center will provide a private space for the emergency rooms tiniest patients on the Island’s South Shore, removing them from the sometimes-stressful atmosphere of an active adult facility.
