Teachers Federal Credit Union Donates $340,000 To Cohen Children’s Medical Center 

Funds Will Support Life-Saving Medical Equipment, Clinical Care, and Research

Teachers Federal Credit Union, one of the largest credit unions in the United States with $9.8 billion assets and more than 460,000 members, proudly announced a $340,000 donation to Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New York. This generous contribution will support the hospital's greatest needs, including life-saving medical equipment, clinical care, and research. 

The donation was presented by Brad Calhoun, President and CEO of Teachers Federal Credit Union, at a ceremony held at Cohen Children’s Medical Center. The funds were gratefully accepted by Dr. Jose Prince, Pediatric Chief of Surgery at Cohen Children’s Medical Center and star of the Netflix series ‘Emergency NYC.’

“At Teachers, we are deeply committed to making a positive impact in our communities,” said Brad Calhoun, President and CEO of Teachers Federal Credit Union. “It is an honor to support Cohen Children’s Medical Center in their mission to provide essential and critical care to children. Together, we can bring hope to the children and families who need it most.”

The donation was part of the ongoing partnership between Teachers Federal Credit Union and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals®, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for local children’s hospitals across the country. The credit union’s recent organizational-wide fundraising campaign, which included its annual Teachers Federal Credit Union Golf Tournament, successfully raised over $600,000 to support children’s hospitals nationwide.

“The support from Teachers Federal Credit Union is beyond valuable in helping us change lives,” said Dr. Prince. “This generous donation directly impacts our ability to provide world-class care and innovative treatments to children in need, and is a testament to what can be achieved when organizations and medical institutions come together with a shared purpose.”

US News and World Report rated Cohen Children’s Medical Center as the number one children’s hospital on Long Island for 2023-2024. The hospital serves over 1.8 million children in New York City boroughs, Nassau and Suffolk counties, and beyond. 

Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has been pivotal in funding healthcare for children, providing 32 million patient visits for 12 million kids each year. Teachers Federal Credit Union has proudly supported Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals since 2021, raising over one million dollars for the non-profit.
