Murphy, president and CEO of South Nassau. “On behalf of the communities and patients that turn to South Nassau for the quality healthcare that they deserve, I thank Councilman Santino and Dr. Ostuni for their dedication to South Nassau’s mission.”
The Carnation Ball honoree is recognized for exemplary leadership and contributions in support of South Nassau’s mission. Councilman Santino has been an ardent advocate for South Nassau, providing advice and insight to facilitate solutions to the challenges faced by the hospital.
