Children's Health Fund and Ysio Online Auction

This press kit includes information and images relevant to the Children's Health Fund and Ysio Online Auction event.

With a click of a button, the lives of thousands may have changed for the better. As the winning online bidder for a Siemens Healthcare digital radiography (DR) system, John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson, N.Y., presented a check for $285,309 to the Children’s Health Fund (CHF), a national organization dedicated to providing health care for homeless and medically disadvantaged children and advocating on behalf of all children. Mather Hospital’s new Siemens DR system, the Ysio®, will allow the hospital to comfortably image patients of various shapes and sizes, ages and disabilities. Siemens donated a new Ysio to the CHF, which, in turn, posted the DR system online, enabling hospitals to bid in an online auction. All proceeds from the event benefit CHF.
