Had the honor this weekend of celebrating Dr. Roth (former Chairman of Pediatrics) at Staten Island University Hospital's 142nd Annual Chairty Ball. I'm very proud to announce that the McKenna Foundation, alongside the Joseph Maffeo Foundation and Joseph Grzelak Memorial Fund, have committed to donating two million dollars for the construction of the brand new pediatric unit. It's truly surreal being able to leave our mark on future generations of children at our very own Staten Island University Hospital.
