This is the new Good Samaritan University Hospital.

WHERE BETTER NEVER STOPS.

Here at Good Samaritan University Hospital, “better” isn’t a finish line. It’s a starting point. A new beginning.

A symbol of transformation our community deserves. And while our Patient Care Pavilion will feature an all-new, expanded emergency department, technologically advanced operating rooms, reimagined private patient rooms, and enhanced Trauma and Stroke centers, we know that better care isn’t just about the building. It’s about the people inside, and the hands that heal. Because better is something we live every day. And it never stops.

Benefits To Cooking Your Own Meals Aging men and women may be tempted to eschew home cooking entirely. After all, there are plenty of convenient frozen or take-out foods available that can be whipped up in a snap. However, there are certain benefits to cooking your own meals. John Moore, DO, an Aetna medical director and senior health specialist, says that cooking can be good for helping to stave off cognitive decline. Dr. Moore notes that, when cooking, the mind is put to use following a recipe and learning new skills and tasks. Furthermore, cooking for oneself can boost seniors’ self-confidence, reassuring them that they can handle

an important daily task without having to rely on their family for meals. As long as it is deemed safe (i.e., no sign of cognitive decline or forgetfulness), seniors should be encouraged to continue cooking.

West Islip High School Varsity Cheer Team Makes School History At National Competition

Islip Winter Senior Advocate Schedules Suffolk Legislator Tom Donnelly (D-Deer Park) is pleased to inform Islip residents about the local Suffolk County Office for the Aging Winter 2026 Senior Advocate Schedule.

Senior advocates are County representatives who come out into the community and assist seniors with information gathering, completion of eligibility or recertification applications and referrals to appropriate community agencies.

“It is so important for us to provide our senior citizens with the assistance and information they need in ways that are most convenient to them. These visits allow our seniors to connect with our County’s senior advocates right in their own communities,” said Legislator Donnelly. “I hope all those interested in the services that the Suffolk County Office for the Aging provides will take advantage of this opportunity.”

This winter, Senior Advocates will be visiting the following locations in the Town of Islip: • Bay Shore Library, 1 S. Country Road, Brightwaters: Friday, March 20, 10 am – 12 pm • Bishop McGann Housing, 200 Bishop McGann Drive, Central Islip: Mondays, February 23 & March 30, 10 am – 12 pm • Brentwood Senior Nutrition, 16 Second Avenue, Brentwood: Friday, March 13, 11:30 am – 1:30 pm • Connetquot Library, 760 Ocean Ave, Bohemia: Thursday, March 12, 10 am – 12 pm • Islip Library, 71 Monell Avenue, Islip: Monday, March 9, 10 am – 12 pm • St. Anne’s Gardens, 80100 2nd Avenue, Brentwood:

The West Islip High School Varsity Cheer Team recently made school history at a national cheerleading competition held in Orlando, Florida. Competing at Nationals from January 30 through February 1 at Walt Disney World, the team became the first in WIHS history to qualify for finals in both Game Day Cheer and Traditional Cheer — a milestone never before achieved by a West Islip team.

The athletes earned their finals berth in Game Day Cheer by advancing directly from preliminaries to finals, while in Traditional Cheer they progressed from

preliminaries to semifinals before qualifying for finals.

Game Day Cheer mirrors the high-energy style seen at college football games, while Traditional Cheer features advanced stunting, choreography, and dance elements.

The team’s success is the result of months of dedication and hard work, beginning in the summer as athletes trained intensively to earn their positions and compete at the national level.

The Varsity Cheer Team is coached by Lauren Brady and Olivia Gmelch, whose leadership helped guide the athletes through

three demanding days of competition.

Although the event is not a Section XI– sanctioned competition, the achievement holds significant meaning for the athletes, their families, and the West Islip community.

The accomplishment reflects the program’s continued growth and the pride these young athletes bring to their school.

A photo of the team following their historic performance shows just how proud they are of what they achieved — a moment many in the community will be excited to celebrate.
