McCormack Memorial Fund Supports Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Services at Winthrop

Pictured (l.-r.) are Laura Walsh, MA, exercise physiologist; Russell Schiff, MD, Director of Ambulatory Pediatric Cardiology at Winthrop; Susan Mitchell, Intramural Director at Nassau Community College; and Barry Cosel-Pieper, Director of Development at Winthrop.

Winthrop-University Hospital recently received more than $41,000 from the Carleigh McCormack Memorial Fund, created by Heather and Jim McCormack in memory of their daughter. The donation included more than $4,000 raised by students at Nassau Community College (NCC) through their annual 5K Fun Run in honor of Carleigh’s grandfather, retired NCC economics professor Neil Nugent, and approximately $37,000 raised by the McCormack family at their 2009 Golf Outing.

The Carleigh McCormack Memorial Fund supports pediatric cardiology services at Winthrop, including the Carleigh McCormack Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Lab. A sophisticated exercise physiology resource, the Lab is equipped with modern exercise equipment and advanced monitoring technology to offer a range of non-invasive testing options and provide important insight into the functioning of a child’s heart and lungs.
