The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) is the only hospital in the Bronx exclusively dedicated to meeting the healthcare needs of children. Nestled between Manhattan and Westchester County, CHAM is a premier academic children’s hospital, nationally renowned for its clinical excellence, innovative research and commitment to training the next generation of pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists.

Since opening in 2001, CHAM’s goal has been to provide children with the best opportunity to lead active and healthy lives and realize their full potential. To achieve this goal, we’ve recruited some of the world’s leading pediatric specialists and child health investigators and implemented the latest medical technologies to deliver the highest quality and safest healthcare with compassion and sensitivity to the needs of the children, families and communities we serve.

Temple Emanu-El has been a partner with CHAM for many years and has supplied many donations: Hundreds of ART KIT donations which were assembled during many Mitzvah Days, items for their annual prom event, food donations for their nutrition program in over 800 public schools, pajama gift packages, and toys from our annual toy drive. We hope you will join us in this special relationship with CHAM by making a child’s hospital stay that much more comfortable.
