Support provided by Northwell’s Mather Hospital, which delivers the five-star difference in exceptional care and is ranked by Medicare in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical performance and patient experience.
A Veterans Day ceremony was held Friday at the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University, where community members gathered to honor veterans.
Suffolk County Legislator and Marine Corps veteran Chad Lennon delivered the keynote address, joined by other officials in paying tribute to the service and sacrifice of veterans.
The event also recognized John LaSpina, president of Maple Family Centers, and his family for their decade-long commitment to supporting recreational programs at the Veterans Home, which have enhanced the lives of its residents. LaSpina recently established an endowment to ensure these programs continue for years to come.
“We are profoundly grateful for John LaSpina’s exceptional generosity,” said Fred S. Sganga, Executive Director of the Long Island State Veterans Home. “His unwavering support has transformed our recreational programs and uplifted the spirits of our veterans. This endowment fund will enable us to continue to honor our commitment to those who have served our nation.”
