Presiding Officer McCaffrey Recognizes Denise DeFazio As Healthcare Hero!
The Suffolk County Legislature recognized inspiring contributions to the healthcare of our County from a diverse and inspiring range of “Healthcare Heroes” with special presentations on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey was proud to name Denise DeFazio as the 2025 Healthcare Hero Honoree for the 14th Legislative
District during the Suffolk County Legislature’s General Meeting on June 3, 2025. Denise, a Licensed Massage Therapist of 22 years with a specialty in women living with and surviving breast cancer, was honored alongside 18 other “Healthcare Heroes” from across Suffolk County chosen by the legislators of their respective districts.
Denise’s private practice in Babylon is only the most recent chapter of a decadeslong, multifaceted campaign to support the members of her community in their ongoing efforts against cancer.
“It was impossible not to be impressed by the true dedication and commitment of Suffolk’s ‘Healthcare Heroes,”

said Presiding Officer McCaffrey. In addition to her private practice of several years, Denise has 10 years’ experience as a hospital nurse, teacher, and as a member of the Integrative Medicine Service at Memorial SloanKettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, and has been providing medical massages for out-patients, employees, and community members at Stony Brook-Southampton Hospital ED and Phyllis Davies Wellness Institute for the past 13 years. “With a background in Nursing and Education, Medical Massage is a good fit for Denise,” said McCaffrey, “Massage Therapy is a profession which benefits people in a holistic manner, regarding them as an individual, family member and community member.”
Denise extends this
holistic approach beyond her practice, contributing to the well-being of her community within her personal life as well as in her career.
“Denise’s mother always said that helping others is the best thing we can do, and Denise tries to live up to those words every day. She is grateful that she has been able to make a difference in the quality of lives of many people, who have, in turn, enriched her own life immensely,” Presiding Officer McCaffrey said in closing.
The Suffolk County Legislature’s Presiding Officer, Legislator Kevin McCaffrey represents Suffolk County’s 14th Legislative District, which encompasses the Villages of Lindenhurst and Babylon, the hamlets of West Babylon and North Lindenhurst, portions of Copiague, North Babylon, and Babylon’s barrier beach communities.
“Denise is very honored to be part of the Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition, which meets women where they are in their health journey and treats them as a whole person. She began her non-profit in order to reach people with cancer who might not otherwise be able to afford the handson treatment that they need for their lymphedema and other medical issues.” When Denise is out of the office, she can be found enjoying her passion for swimming. A caretaker to her father when he chose to pass away at home, Denise’s two hospice care-fundraising Cross Bay Swims united her advocacy for at-home end-of-life care with her daily commitment to centering healthcare in her public and private lives.
Quirky, Fun-Filled Things To Do This Summer
By JoAnn Cilla
Long Island is one of the best places in the world to be in the summer. From the beaches to the restaurants, and the landmarks to the parks, Long Island has something for every resident and visitor. Here are five things you should consider adding to your bucket list for June – August.
1. Unusual Attractions & Roadside Wonders
Long Island has great, quirky landmarks. Have you been to the iconic Big Duck in Flanders? It’s a giant duck-shaped building that’s both a historic site and a gift shop and opened in 1931. In Montauk, the Montauk Point Lighthouse offers breathtaking ocean views. You should also make time to visit the Long Island Aquarium in Riverhead, where you can dive with sharks (I’m happy to be a spectator for this activity).
2. Festivals & Fairs
Summer is festival season on Long Island. The Empire State Fair returns to Nassau Coliseum from June 27 to July 13, featuring rides, live entertainment, and delicious fair food. For a cultural experience, check out the Long Island Celtic Festival & Highland Games at Old Westbury Gardens on August 23. It’s a celebration of Scottish heritage with music, dance, and traditional games.
3. Offbeat Eats & Sweet Treats
If satisfying your sweet tooth is on your list this summer, head over to BonBon, a Swedish candy shop in Sag Harbor. They have colorful displays of your favorite confections. Longing for some nostalgia? Make dinner reservations at Swifty’s. They are located at The Hedges Inn in East Hampton and serve classic dishes in a charming setting.
4. Nature & Wellness Escapes
If you want to reconnect with nature, make plans to visit the North Fork’s beaches and vineyards. Wölffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack offers wine tastings at their beautiful vineyards. You can also plan a wellness retreat at Naturopathica Spa in Bridgehampton.
5. Family-Friendly Fun

Many people are eager for Independence Day celebrations in early summer. There is much to be excited about, as festivities often begin in the afternoon with barbecues and pool parties, and commence late at night after fireworks shows that light up the night sky. Still, not everyone enjoys the extra noise and busy nature of July 4th parties, particularly furry members of the family. Animal control services often report an increase in
Prepare Pets For Fourth Of July Festivities
lost animals between July 4th and July 6th. That’s because the excitement of the holiday puts pets out of their comfort zones. While pet owners need not cancel their July 4th plans, they should take heed of the many ways to keep their pets safe during the festivities.
Update identification
Be sure prior to any July 4th events that pets are wearing collars with current identification information. If an address
or phone number has changed since the last time you updated microchip records, be sure to check the account is current.
Be careful with alcoholic drinks
Party hosts typically serve beer, wine and cocktails. Alcoholic beverages have the potential to poison pets, says the ASPCA. Animals can become very intoxicated, severely depressed or go into comas if they drink alcohol. Keep spirited drinks well out of reach.
Check with the vet
Many pets are prone to anxiety from loud noises, such as thunderstorms and fireworks, and lots of commotion — something that occurs in spades come July 4th. Some veterinarians recommend a small course of antianxiety medication or a sedative to help pets cope
with the stimuli.
Create a quiet space
Allow pets to ride out the day in their comfortable, quiet and cozy retreats. If necessary, create a space in an interior room. Cover the pet crate with a blanket and offer favorite toys or bedding to create a soothing environment.
Place notes on doors and gates
While it’s best to keep pets in a locked room away from the fray, some pets like to socialize with guests and are not bothered by noises. However, alert guests with notes posted on doors and fence gates to check to make sure pets are not trying to escape behind them. All doors should be closed firmly when entering or exiting.
Pick up debris
Firework debris can rain down on properties even if
you were not shooting off the fireworks. Curious pets may pick it up or eat it, which runs the risk of an upset stomach or even an intestinal blockage. Check your yard before letting pets out to play.
Keep an eye on the grill
Pets can be opportunists,
and those burgers and chicken drumsticks smell delicious to pets. Pets that get too close to the grill can become injured. And if pets eat leftovers, they may end up with digestive distress or even be poisoned by foods that are toxic to cats and dogs.
Babylon Village Chamber of Commerce
First Block Party Of The Summer Series
RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Fourth Of July Cookie Cups
Makes 24
2⁄3 cup almonds
1⁄2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for the work surface
1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
DIRECTIONS:
1. To make the cookie cups: preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a 24-count mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl using a handheld mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar together for 1 to 2 minutes, or until well combined.
4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, making sure to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
5. Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
6. Evenly distribute the cookie dough among all 24 cups in the mini muffin pan, a little more than 1 tablespoon of cookie dough per cup. Press each ball of cookie dough into the cups and smooth it out.
1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
1 12-ounce jar raspberry jam
7. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie cups are lightly browned and the tops are set.
8. Remove from the oven, and make an indentation in each cookie using the back of a measuring spoon. Allow to cool in the muffin pan, then carefully remove from the pan and set aside.
9. To make the vanilla buttercream frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl using a handheld mixer, beat the butter for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing in each addition until well combined.
10. Add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until fully combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Pipe the frosting into the cooled cookie cups and top with the sprinkles.
12. Store the cookie cups in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

If you run a business on Long Island and want to thank your loyal customers while introducing new people to
your business, here are three suggestions:
1. Host Themed Events: It’s easy to organize summerthemed events or workshops that align with your business (a hardware store hosting DIY projects, a restaurant having cooking classes).
2. Collaborate Locally: Think about partnering with neighboring businesses to create joint promotions or
packages. You can introduce your customers to their business and vice-versa. With the right packages or promotions, it can be a great “win-win” for everyone.
3. Use Social Media to Get and Stay Connected: With platforms like Instagram and Facebook, you can showcase your summer specials, share behind-the-scenes content, and engage with your
customers through interactive posts and stories. Make them fun and memorable too! With so many fun and interesting things to do on Long Island in June, July, and August, make sure you plan ahead to take advantage of all the things you want to do. Then you can include those spur-of-the-moment day trips to round out a perfect summer!
