WOR CHAIRMAN, LAUDED FOR CARDIAC HOME FOUNDING
Judging from the praise bestowed upon them at the dedica¬ tion of the McCosker-Hershfield Cardiac Horae at Hilburn, N.Y. , last Sunday, Alfred J. McCosker, Chairman of WOR in New York, and Harry Hershfield, radio commentator, have unknowingly built a great monu¬ ment to themselves.
Inspired by the generosity for which they are both so noted, Messrs. McCosker and Hershfield have founded the first in¬ stitution in the United States if not in the world providing convalescent care for needy adults suffering from heart diseases. Testimonial from 28 patients would indicate that though the first patient was admitted only last December, it is the biggest kind of a success.
Operated on a non-sectarian basis, it has a capacity of thirty-eight patients and provides convalescent care in an attempt to return them to an active, productive life.
The ceremonies attended by 300 persons opened with the raising of a flag by Col. James C. DiGiacomo, Chairman of the Dedication Committee. The speakers included State Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora, Thomas J. Curran, New York Secretary of State; Fannie Hurst, the writer, Mr. McCosker and Mr. Hershfield.
After the ceremonies, the visitors. Including Mayor O’ Dwyer, were taken on a tour of the three-story stone building and the grounds, covering eleven acres.
