The Mount Sinai Children’s Center Foundation (CCF) was founded in 1989 and plays a crucial role in enhancing care, treatment, and support for children and families at Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital and the Jack and Lucy Clark Department of Pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Mount Sinai has been caring for children and adolescents for more than 130 years, since Abraham Jacobi, MD, founded the first pediatric department within a hospital in New York City in 1878. Today, Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital is consistently ranked as one of the top children’s hospitals in the country, due in large part to the generous support and enthusiastic participation of our CCF board members and friends.

Since its inception, the CCF has raised more than $30 million for meaningful children’s health initiatives at Mount Sinai, primarily through its annual benefit. The foundation supports essential hospital renovations, therapeutic programs to alleviate anxiety and improve the hospital experience, and innovative research to advance pediatric medicine.

Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital is now embarking on a new phase of tremendous growth to align with the future of children’s healthcare delivery. The CCF board is shifting its focus to align with this transformation of the Kravis Children’s Hospital and the entire children’s health enterprise at Mount Sinai, by providing strategic counsel, expertise, and philanthropic resources.
