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. 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.

  • The Lunar New Year (also called Chinese New Year) is upon us and generally falls between January 21 and February 20. This year, it falls on February 17. 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. Food plays a significant role in Lunar New Year celebrations, with various culinary traditions across regions each assigning specific meanings to different dishes. Long Island offers many restaurants to enjoy these celebrations and discover new favorites. Culinary Delights for the Lunar New Year 2026: Year of the Horse

The South Shore of Long Island boasts several top-quality health food markets and grocery stores that can make this easier. From fully prepared meals to the ingredients needed to make them, it’s a perfect time to visit some of our local stores and get inspired for the new year. Resolving to Eat Healthy in 2026
