Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital leaders Dr. Michael Gewitz and the hospital’s new Physician-in-Chief Dr. Erika Berman Rosenzweig spoke about the importance to donations to fund services such as the expansion of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Cancer Care Services, and Children’s Cardiac Surgery programs.
