2. Introduction
 Arthur J. “Art” Samberg directed the work of global hedge fund
investment firm Pequot Capital Management, Inc., for two decades.
Currently head of the family firm Hawkes Financial, LLC, based in New
York, Art Samberg has also earned a wide reputation as a philanthropist
dedicated to educational and medical causes, with New York-
Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital among them. Thanks
to his $25 million gift, the hospital’s Samberg Scholars increased the
reach and quality of its pediatric care.
Nationally renowned as one of the nation’s premier pediatric facilities,
Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital is today the sole hospital focusing
exclusively on children’s health on the island of Manhattan. It supports
care in numerous specialties, and includes a state-of-the-art neonatal
unit.

3. Neonatal
 The unit’s success stories include that of a baby girl born with a
defective ventricle that severely reduced her heart’s ability to
oxygenate her blood. When she was less than a week old, Morgan
Stanley’s surgeons performed a major operation to rebuild her
heart. That baby, now a lively seven-year-old in love with
gymnastics, owes her quality of life to the hospital.
In 2019, the hospital prepared for the birth of its first set of
quintuplets in more than 25 years with a well-trained team of
doctors, nurses, and technicians assisting and crying with joy
alongside the parents in the delivery room. The babies, weighing
two to three pounds at birth, then received premium-quality care in
the hospital’s comprehensive neonatal intensive care unit.
