The James F. Ackerman Federation

The James F. Ackerman Federation is an organization of women dedicated to helping the patients and personnel of Jersey Shore University Medical Center and K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital.

The many areas of the hospital that the Federation endeavors to touch include the operation of Yesterday’s Best Thrift Shoppe. Funds raised through the Thrift Shoppe support nursing scholarships for employees of the hospital to advance their education.

In addition, funds are raised through various events throughout the year such as card parties, luncheons, vendor sales, raffles, boutiques and other special events. These funds are used to support programs and services within the medical center.
