The Markovitz Family Makes Child Life Services Permanent in Newark
The Valerie Fund Children's Center at Children's Hospital of New Jersey, Newark Medical Center honored the Markovitz Family this past June for making certain that Valerie Fund patients will always have the comfort and counsel of a child life specialist. In May of this year, a plaque was installed in The Valerie Fund Center playroom, commemorating the creation of the Marilyn & Monroe Markovitz Child Life Specialist position. Jillian Hinko, CCLS, who has been working with Valerie Fund children for over a decade, is the first Child Life Specialist to hold this named position. Pictured here are Barry Kirschner, Children's Hospital of New Jersey President Darrell Terry, Jillian Hinko, Marilyn Markovitz, and Monroe Markovitz.
