It's time for everyone to "Put Some Money in the Pot!" for the Save Beth Israel and New York Eye and Ear Campaign so that we can keep doing our good work together to preserve access to hospital care in Lower Manhattan.
We will be gathering on Wed. evening July 24 on the lovely loft terrace of Dr. Ian Kwok and Dr. Kim Murdaugh that overlooks the East River skyline in Alphabet City, a section of Manhattan's East Village. Both Dr. Ian and Dr. Kim did their medical training at Beth Israel Hospital, and are committed to preserving it as the very special community hospital that it has been for over 130+ years. Once a donation is made, street address details will be sent out.
(Rain date: In the event of inclement weather, this fundraiser will be postponed to Thurs. July 25th -- same time and location.)

About Our Campaign:
The Save Beth Israel and New York Eye & Ear Campaign is a scrappy grassroots collaboration that came together in November 2023 to beat back proposals from one of NYC;s largest hospital networks (Mount Sinai Health System) to a) close our last remaining community hospital (Beth Israel), and b) dismantle one of our city's world-class specialty hospitals (NY Eye & Ear Infirmary).
