The first sign that spring will be arriving soon, especially in the northeastern part of the United States, is often when we “spring ahead” into daylight saving time. Setting the clock one hour ahead assures us that tomorrow will be a longer day, filled with extra daylight, and brighter, warmer ...

💙 A new space of comfort for families at Good Samaritan University Hospital.

Catholic Health recently celebrated the dedication of a new Pediatric Family Room designed to support families with children receiving care. The welcoming space includes a small dining area, a play space for children, and a private shower and bathroom so parents can rest and recharge while remaining close to their child.

This meaningful addition was made possible through the generosity of the Companions in Courage Foundation—founded by Pat LaFontaine—and a heartfelt gift from Marianne Dolan Weber and her family in memory of Carmine Michael Weber.

At Good Samaritan, home to the South Shore’s only Pediatric Trauma Center, caring for children also means caring for their families. This new space provides a moment of respite and comfort during challenging times. 💙

When the doors of the new Patient Care Pavilion at Good Samaritan University Hospital officially opened, they welcomed more than advanced technology and thoughtfully designed spaces, they welcomed people. The first patients to receive care in the Patient Care Pavilion marked a meaningful milestone for the hospital, bringing the building’s purpose to life from its very first day.

From emergency care to surgery to inpatient recovery, these early experiences reflect what the Patient Care Pavilion was built to deliver: compassionate, high-quality care in an environment designed around patients, families, and caregivers.

Snow way a blizzard could slow down this crew! ❄️☃️

The Imaging Team and Radiology Techs at Good Samaritan University Hospital took a quick break to enjoy the winter fun — then grabbed their shovels to help clear paths for our patients and staff.

From scans to snow removal, this team always shows up with heart, teamwork, and a whole lot of Good Samaritan spirit! 💙

Inspired by his late father’s love of Christmas, D.J. transforms his family’s holiday display into a fundraiser each year in support of the Gary H. Richard and Family Stroke & Brain Aneurysm Center of Long Island at Good Samaritan University Hospital. Featuring more than 300 blow mold decorations, and even highlighted on News12 as a must-see, his Deer Park display spreads both holiday cheer and hope.

Recently D.J. got to visit Dr. Bekelis at work at Good Samaritan University Hospital! We are so grateful for dedicated individuals like D.J. who choose to fundraise in support of these vital programs at Good Samaritan. His tribute is a powerful reminder of the impact one person can make. ❤️
