Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital recently celebrated the official naming of The Premier Collection Pediatric Emergency Department during a special dedication ceremony recognizing the extraordinary generosity of The Coughlin Family, Subaru White Plains, and The Premier Collection.
Hospital leadership, Foundation trustees, donors, physicians, and community members gathered to commemorate the milestone, which reflects a shared commitment to ensuring children throughout the Hudson Valley continue to receive exceptional emergency care close to home.
“Every day, children arrive at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital facing medical emergencies, and within moments they are surrounded by a team of highly skilled pediatric specialists dedicated to providing lifesaving care,” said David Lubarsky, MD, MBA, President and CEO of WMCHealth. “Behind every visit is a child, a family, and a moment when nothing matters more than knowing expert pediatric care is available. We are deeply grateful to The Coughlin Family, Subaru White Plains, and The Premier Collection for their remarkable generosity and commitment to the children and families we serve.”
During the ceremony, Ivan Miller, MD, Chair of Emergency Medicine for WMCHealth, spoke about the vital role philanthropy plays in strengthening pediatric emergency care.
“When a child arrives in the Pediatric Emergency Department, families are often frightened and searching for answers,” said Dr. Miller. “Support like this strengthens our ability to provide expert, compassionate care for thousands of children each year. This is philanthropy at its very best—community leaders investing in healthier futures for children they may never meet, but whose lives will be better because they cared.”
Jeremy Abramson, Trustee of the Westchester Medical Center Foundation and a leader within The Premier Collection, highlighted the longstanding partnership between the organizations.
“This recognition is about far more than a name on a wall,” Abramson said. “It represents a shared commitment to our community and to the children and families who rely on Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital every day. We are honored that The Premier Collection and the Coughlin Family can help support the extraordinary physicians, nurses, and staff who provide hope, healing, and comfort during life’s most difficult moments.”
Sean Coughlin, President of The Premier Collection, joined members of the Coughlin Family and WMCHealth leadership for the official unveiling of the naming recognition. This meaningful investment reflects The Premier Collection’s longstanding commitment to the health and well-being of the community and will have a lasting impact on pediatric emergency care for generations to come. Their generosity helps ensure that Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital remains a place where children receive world-class care, close to home, during life’s most critical moments.
