NUHEALTH SYSTEM CELEBRATES “TAKE YOUR CHILD TO WORK DAY” ON APRIL 25, 2013 AT NUMC

EAST MEADOW, NY… Arthur A. Gianelli, President/CEO of the NuHealth System, is pleased to announce “Take Your Child to Work Day” on Thursday, April 25, 2013 at the Nassau University Medical Center. Once again, the Nuhealth System is proud to host over 60 NUMC staff members’ children, ages 8 to 12. The children will be touring various areas of the hospital in celebration of this day. 

“This is both a rewarding and exciting way to help our adolescent children learn about health careers, to foster an interest in their education, build self-esteem, and to help them to understand their importance in the workforce,” said Gianelli. “Take your Child to Work Day 2013 at NUMC” is going to be an exciting and informative day for all involved. The children will visit various areas of the hospital such as the ER. Here they will discover the process of an emergency from arriving in the ambulance, the trauma room, the various ER rooms, to being admitted to the hospital. They will visit the OB/Gyn area, along with maternity. They will also take a look into the hyperbaric chamber.”

 Children touring NUMC will visit the pediatric playroom and learn about recreation therapy and art therapy. The physical therapist will demonstrate the various machines they use in therapy including the electric stimulation machine and paraffin wax. An occupational therapist will also demonstrate the various adaptive equipment that they provide to the patients to help them in functioning. Lunch will be served by the food and nutrition department and the program will conclude in the gym with a craft for all to take home.  


Registration begins at 8AM and event finishes at 3PM. Members of the press wishing to accompany the children while touring should call the public affairs office of NUMC at (516) 572-6055 to make arrangements.
