Good Samaritan Receives Handmade Blankets from the Adventurer's Club

Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center was recently the recipient of hand-made baby blankets from members of the Amityville Seventh Day Adventist Church. The Church's Advenuturer's Club led by Melita Johnson, arranged gift bags with blankets and other gifts for newborns. Welcoming the children and their donations were Lynn Antonowich, RN, Nurse Manager of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and several other nurses from the unit. These gifts will be distributed to the parents of babies in the NICU. Lessons of love and philanthropy were both demonstrated the members of the Adventurer's Club. In the future, the Club is hoping to present hospitalized children with gifts to make their stay more comfortable.

Good Samaritan Hospital's NICU has the equipment and expertise to care for the tini- est "micro-preemies" and is the only New York State designated Level III NICU on Suffolk County's South Shore. Good Samaritan is a referral site for premature infants and full-term babies born with serious medical conditions.
