THE FLOATING HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
JOIN OUR MISSION: board and committee service at The Floating Hospital
At The Floating Hospital, we believe in the power of community and compassion in transforming lives. Since our inception in 1866, we have been an integral part of New York City’s safety net, dedicated to providing medical care and support to the city’s most vulnerable families and children experiencing homelessness. Our history is rich with people who have offered their talent, experience and labor, beginning with a visionary board (that included many bright minds of the time, including future 26th president of the United States, Teddy Rosevelt) and group of volunteer physicians aboard our earliest sea-faring vessels and continuing though the decades with countless individuals enriching our mission.
Our board and committee members are the lifeblood of The Floating Hospital, embodying our ethos of caring and community support, and steering us towards a brighter future for those we serve.
Serving on our Foundation Board offers a unique opportunity to be part of this historic and noble cause. The Foundation Board plays a crucial role in fundraising and securing resources vital for our mission’s success, ensuring our commitment to health and healing continues to thrive.
