The Injury Prevention Trauma Division is holding a

Coat Drive!    

Did you know, 1 in 8 American households are living in poverty? In all corners of the United States, families are struggling.  The need for warmer clothing, combined with increased costs of living, will make the winter months more challenging for those with already-strapped budgets.    

Here is how you can help:   

1. Donate coats to our coat drive!                                     From November 3^rd 2022 to January 26^th 2023. Stop by the Trauma Suite, located on the first floor in the C-building to drop off NEW * or gently worn coats. All coats collected will be donated locally to our neighbors in need and at community events.    
2. Please spread the word! By letting others know about our coat drive. Let your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers know about your intentions to donate. It may motivate them to do the same!   

We hope you will support Jamaica Hospital’s coat drive and help us warm our neighbors in need. If you have any other questions about the coat drive, please contact Arnold Raphaël at

718-206-7168 or by emailing at araphael@jhmc.org.   

Thank you for keeping our community healthy, warm, and strong!
