All-new charitable arm opens opportunities to support physicians

Westbury, NY—August 4, 2025 – The Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) has launched a charitable foundation, the MSSNY Foundation.  The 501(c)(3) was created to help MSSNY deliver on its mission to advance the health of New York state residents by promoting a favorable environment for the practice of medicine through education and professional community for New York State physicians.

“From education and peer support to financial security and leadership development, our Foundation will give doctors the tools to thrive and continue serving patients across the state,” said chair Kira A. Geraci-Ciardullo, MD, MPH.

Guided by a board of four physicians representing various regions around New York State, the MSSNY Foundation will grow programs that directly support physicians and future physicians.
