Please join us in applauding our July DAISY and BEE recipients, Laura Cooley, RN, and Kathy Montgomery, Marketing Specialist!

The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses® honors exceptional nursing staff, while the BEE Award recognizes other outstanding team members who demonstrate excellence every day, both at the hospital and in outpatient clinics.

Laura Cooley, RN, was praised for her patient care. Her colleagues say she consistently goes above and beyond to provide individual care, compassion, and advocacy.

Kathy Montgomery was nominated by several colleagues, who collectively recognized her selflessness and ambition. Kathy juggles many responsibilities with creativity and efficiency, all while maintaining a sunny disposition.

We are very fortunate to have both of these wonderful women at Samaritan Medical Center. Read more about them with this article: samaritanhealth.com/july-2025-daisy-and-bee-award-recipients/

It's almost time to go back to school!

In New York State, certain vaccines are required for school attendance, unless a parent or guardian can provide a valid exemption.

For students in day care, pre-K, and grade school, the following immunizations are required by New York State: DTap or Tdap, Hepatitis B, Polio, Chickenpox, and Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR). Additionally, as a child enters middle and high school, they will need the Meningococcal conjugate vaccine. Some schools may have additional requirements.

In order to remain compliant with NYS regulations and keep your child up-to-date on their immunizations, schedule an appointment with their pediatrician today!
