Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York welcomes Charna’s Kids Club to our home.

Charna’s Kids Club has been the perfect addition to Cohens, providing a safe place for siblings of hospitalized children. Charna’s Kids Club helps these children feel valued and assists them with any coping challenges they may face. As the Program Coordinator and as an Art Therapist, I have witnessed the emotional issues with which "Charna’s Kids" struggle. So, we are very pleased that we have been able to offer this excellent sibling support program, four days a week, to our sibling patient population of 300,000. Thank you, Arlene and Larry Radbell!
