High Profile: Lynda Moran, Islip Arts Council Executive Director

Posted on March 12, 2024
For over a decade, Donna Moravick has served as executive director of Northwell Health’s South Shore University Hospital (formerly Southside Hospital) in Bay Shore. Under her leadership, South Shore University Hospital has become a destination hospital within Northwell Health’s eastern region, permanently transforming Suffolk County's health care landscape. Her appointment as the 2023 grand marshal for the Bay Shore-Brightwaters St. Patrick’s Day Parade is well earned. Donna recently took time out of her busy schedule to speak with us at Fire Island News and share her insights about healthcare, life and Long Island.

It is celebrated throughout China, Taiwan, North and South Korea, Singapore, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The holiday honors ancestors and deities, encourages letting go of negative energy, and emphasizes connecting with family and friends. It is a prominent celebration in vibrant Chinatowns and Asian communities across the country, featuring parades and other festive activities. This year marks the Year of the Horse, symbolizing hard work, bravery, and resilience—values universal to all.
