NY Foundling

www.nyfoundling.org

We take a holistic approach to learning at Haven Academy because we know the health and well-being of our students is critical to their success. For the past two years, The Medical Home Program funded by Deerfield has provided basic healthcare to our scholars, two thirds of whom are in the child welfare system. In the coming school year, with Deerfield’s support, we’ll retain a private food management service to prepare fresh, local, sustainable breakfast, lunch and snacks daily to our 255 students in the South Bronx - an area that’s been labeled ground-zero for New York City’s obesity epidemic. Nutritional services will also be provided to over 1,000 foster children and their families served by The New York Foundling across all five boroughs. We can’t thank Deerfield enough for their commitment to the health of these disadvantaged children.

Bill Baccaglini,
Executive Director

Through generous assistance from the Deerfield Foundation, NY Foundling, the long-respected children’s aid organization, helped the Mott Haven Academy Charter School to establish its Medical Home Program to provide a comprehensive range of medical services to its students. With Deerfield’s support, a full range of medical services including dental and eye care are now available to these families, many of whom face obstacles to accessing healthcare elsewhere.

A School Nurse who is a registered Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP), coordinates outreach to help parents identify a medical home and provides school-based medical services. Deerfield funding also provides nutritious snacks to Haven Academy students, and support a full-time Registered Dietician who counsels and educates hundreds of foster children and families at Foundling offices across the five boroughs of New York City.
