History

Pediatrics at Long Island Jewish Hospital dated back to 1956 when a new nursery to treat premature newborns is built into LIJ's facility, providing neonatal care to the families of Long Island. After twenty years of lobbying for a new children's hospital, the hospital opened up in November 1983 under the name Schneider Children's Hospital. [11] [12]

The new hospital was named after the Schneider family, a major benefactor of the health system. [13] The hospital was a pioneer in creating a warm environment specifically for pediatric patients. [14] The hospital became the second freestanding children's hospital in the New York region. [15] [16]

In 1989, the hospital affiliated with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM). When the Zucker School of Medicine was completed in 2008, the hospital ended its affiliation with the AECOM. In 2010, North Shore-LIJ senior vice president, Keith Thompson announced that the Schneider family requested removal of their name from the hospital so they could better focus their efforts on the Schneider Children's Medical Center in Israel. [17] [18]

The hospital was temporarily renamed to North Shore-LIJ Children's Hospital on an interim basis while searching for a new name. [19] In April 2010, it was announced that the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation had donated $50 million to the hospital and the hospital was to be renamed to Cohen Children's Medical Center to honor the donation. [20] [19] [21]

In 2010 child actor, Shannon Tavarez former star of The Lion King died of leukemia at the hospital. [22]

The money was used to build a new pediatric wing to the hospital adding a new pediatric ed, a new 24-bed PICU, and a 25-bed surgical unit and a surgery center with six operating rooms dedicated to pediatrics. [23] The new addition completed in 2013. [24] [25]

In 2017 the hospital gained international attention when they successfully removed a six-pound tumor from 12-year-old Gambian child, Janet Sylvia. The operation was arranged through the Global Medical Relief Fund and performed for free. [26]
