Good Samaritan Hospital Receives Gifts From Local School -- Gifts used to make pediatric patients stay easier
Good Samaritan Hospital received a very special donation from local Yeshiva Darchei Noam of Monsey for the hospital's pediatric ward.
(PRWEB) June 29, 2004 -- Good Samaritan Hospital today received a very special donation from local Yeshiva Darchei Noam of Monsey. The Principal of the school, Rabbi Jacob Horowitz, along with his students, presented Good Samaritan with a laptop computer and a wide variety of CDs and DVDs. The laptop will be a part of a lending library in Good Samaritans Pediatric Ward, providing pediatric patients with access to DVDs, CDs, and overall use of the laptop.
Children and parents of the Yeshiva raised over $4,500 for this project. The initial fundraising process began on Purim, one of the most festive Jewish holidays
The enthusiasm that the children showed throughout this project was quite inspiring," said Rabbi Horowitz. They were such a big part of this project, either donating money from their own pockets, having their parents drive them to the store to pick out DVDs and CDs, or by making personal cards for the children in the hospital. They truly dedicated themselves to this project. Overall, its a nice way to say thanks to the hospital for all of vital services it provides to the community," concluded Horowitz.
Good Samaritan Hospital is a part of the Bon Secours Charity Health System, which also includes St. Anthony community in Warwick, NY and Bon Secours Community Hospital in Port Jervis, NY. Additionally, Bon Secours Charity Health System provides the services of a Certified Home Health Agency, two long-term care facilities, an assisted living and adult home facility and several other medical programs.
