The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging to us all, but we are grateful for the tireless dedication and expert care our clinical team is providing.
 
My family started Sam’s Fund to help build a high-quality NICU to serve the families of northern New Jersey. We pledged $1.5 million to name Sam’s NICU in memory of our daughter, Samantha Marie Salzberg, and this amazing facility opened in 2009. If Sam’s NICU was operating in 1987, we believe Samantha would be alive today.  

Today, Morristown Medical Center (MMC) is a designated Level III Regional Perinatal Center and Sam's NICU is the only one in New Jersey that offers 34 private and semi-private rooms. Sam’s NICU provides care for the highest risk babies in the metropolitan area and is the small NICU model nationally.

Your donations are 100 percent tax deductible, and the Foundation for Morristown Medical Center will provide a receipt for your records.

Thanks so much for your support  -- Steve and Doris Salzberg
