The Maimonides Pediatric Trauma Center marked a decade of life-saving care at its 10th Annual Community for Kids benefit, held Dec. 4 at the El Caribe Country Club in Mill Basin. The milestone event honored Declan Doyle, Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, the Kids for Kids Foundation, and the Ben-Bay Kiwanis Foundation for their dedication to Brooklyn\u2019s children, while raising critical funds for the borough\u2019s only Level 1 pediatric trauma center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very special event,\u201d Doyle,\u00a0executive vice president and chief operating officer of Maimonides Health, told Brooklyn Paper. \u201cIt kicks off the holiday season for many people, bringing our community together with our staff and Medical Center team members, and recognizing the work that we\u2019re doing for such a great cause\u2026 We\u2019re here for Brooklyn. We\u2019re here for the kids of Brooklyn. We continue to invest in our resources, our medical center, our people to be able to support them to take care of the future of Brooklyn.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event celebrated not only the generosity of community partners but also the recent opening of Maimonides\u2019 first standalone pediatric emergency department<\/a> in Brooklyn, a state-of-the-art facility designed to provide expert, compassionate care close to home. Funds raised at the benefit directly support the trauma center and its pediatric programs, ensuring that every child in Brooklyn has access to urgent and specialized care.<\/p>\n

Monsignor Gigantiello emphasized the hospital\u2019s commitment to the community.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the very beginning, I saw that they were very interested in the community to help them do what they do best, to serve people, to cure people, but they always put an interest in the person, not always in the disease or the illness,\u201d he said. \u201cAn honoring is really honoring everyone involved in the work of the hospital \u2014 the doctors, the nurses, the staff, and all those that support the work of the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

The evening highlighted the importance of community partnerships in sustaining Brooklyn\u2019s only Level 1 pediatric trauma center.\n<\/p>\n
