What’s Happening

Got a great recipe?
When a friend lost a child to Tay-Sachs disease, Joe Szabo became inspired to help children. His mission: creating a cookbook for employees, with proceeds benefiting our neonatal intensive care unit. Now he needs your help. Get out your recipe box, choose your original favorite and click here. You’ll find a link on the home page. Submit your recipe by Oct. 31. Szabo hopes to have the book ready for the holidays.

A quilt’s tale
If this beautiful quilt could talk it would share the inspirational stories of our Transplant Center patients and their families, including (l-r) Patty Wagner, Lee Wagner and Mary Ann Horvath. At the encouragement of colleagues like social worker Kimberly Bruns, 13 patients made quilted squares depicting their lives since receiving donor organs. Several colleagues also created squares. The quilt will soon be displayed in the Transplant Center.

EMS Appreciation
In honor of the community outreach activities he has coordinated, emergency medical services (EMS) liaison Daniel Rymond (right) received a plaque from Jonathan Nicholas (left), Bethlehem Township EMS director of operations, during EMS week. As Rymond visited local EMS stations during EMS week, he was joined by Randolph Mantooth, the actor who played Johnny Gage on the 1970s medical drama “Emergency.”

Giving back
Chief information officer Harry Lukens (far left) donated his Aruba time-share for a raffle by his Information Services (I/S) colleagues. They raised $2,500 to benefit the Eastern Pennsylvania Down Syndrome Center, Trexlertown. I/S colleagues (back, left) Lynn Corcoran-Stamm, Jim Gigler and Donald Levick, M.D. (front), presented the funds, and boxes of games and toys (part of The Jared Box Project) to center staff members Ann Marie Dolinish Meltzer and Maria Floryshak (far right). They will benefit patients like Charles (with mom Jennifer Seiger of Warrior Run).
