Teachers Federal Credit Union, one of the largest credit unions in the United States with $9.5 billion assets and more than 460,000 members, proudly presented Cohen Children's Medical Center with a $200,000 donation. The funds will support the hospital's greatest needs, including life-saving medical equipment, clinical care, and research. Presented at Cohen Children's Medical Center by Brad Calhoun, President and CEO of Teachers Federal Credit Union, the funds were accepted by Carolyn Quinn, Executive Director at Cohen Children's Medical Center, and Dr. Jose Prince, Surgeon in Chief at Cohen Children's Medical Center and star of the Netflix show 'Emergency NYC.'

"At Teachers, we are passionate about making a difference in our communities," said Brad Calhoun, President and CEO of Teachers Federal Credit Union. "We are honored to support Cohen Children's Medical Center in providing critical care to children. Together, we can bring hope to the children who need it most."
