Fire Islanders Leave Their Footprints on Bay Shore-Brightwaters St. Pat’s Parade

Posted on March 12, 2023
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.

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.
