1/31/13-Guest Speaker-Christina Rosa-Ragona From Stony Brook Children's Hospital

Today we had Christina Rosa-Ragona come to our meeting from Stony Brook Children's Hospital.  Christina updated us about all the things going on to help out the way children are taken care of.  There was a great need for a state of the art Children's Hospital here in Suffolk County.  Families no longer have to travel long distances to get great help.  The new Children areas are considered a "Pain Free Zone" and have bright colors to lighten the mood and all the renovation are very kid and family friendly.  They take in consideration the parents who stayed with their child during times of need by offering them places to sleep instead of sleeping in chairs and waiting areas.  Great Job with all the work and hopefully we will be able to take a tour of the facility.
