Sinai receives $1 million gift for community outreach

Sinai Hospital has received a $1 million gift that it intends to put toward family violence prevention programs and other non-medical programs in the community.

The money came from the Moser Family Philathropic Fund and was intended for community outreach. The gift was made in memory of M. Peter Moser, a former Sinai Board of Directors member for 25 years and a trustee of Sinai’s parent company LifeBridge Health.

“Peter’s devotion to improving the health and well-being of our community was instrumental in shaping the mission of both Sinai Hospital and LifeBridge Health,” said Warren Green, president and chief executive officer of LifeBridge Health, in a statement. “This gift will ensure that those efforts continue and will serve as a lasting tribute to his memory.”

The programs funded with the gift will be named for Moser.

Hospital officials said community outreach is an important element of Sinai’s mission. For more information, visit www.lifebridgehealth.org.

The fund also gave $1 million in the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law to  support the Moser Ethics in Action Initiative Endowment to be established at the law school.
