Good News! South Nassau Communities Hospital and Empire BlueCross BlueShield last
week reached an agreement to keep South Nassau “in-network.” Some BlueCross members
received a letter in May indicating South Nassau might be out of network as of July 1. As a
result of the new agreement, BlueCross members will enjoy continued “in-network” access
to all South Nassau hospital services and those provided by its participating physicians.
We are very grateful for the support and patience we received throughout the last month
from our patients and BlueCross members. We also would like to thank our elected officials
who came to the aid of South Nassau, especially New York State Senator Todd Kaminsky;
Town of Hempstead Councilman Anthony D’Esposito; New York State Assemblyman Brian
Curran; New York State Assemblywoman Melissa Miller; New York State Assemblywoman
Michaelle Solages; Nassau County Legislator Denise Ford; Nassau County Legislator
Howard Kopel; Nassau County Comptroller Jack Schnirman; Town of Hempstead
Supervisor Laura Gillen; Nassau County Executive Laura Curran; Rep. Kathleen Rice;
Freeport Mayor Bob Kennedy; Island Park Mayor Mike McGinty; Rockville Centre Mayor
Fran Murray and former New York State Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg.
Thanks also are due to South Nassau staff and our voluntary board members for standing
by the hospital. Finally, we want to thank BlueCross leadership for negotiating in good faith
and ultimately acting in the best interests of our patients and BlueCross members.

HERE AND ABROAD
Kathleen and Bobby Zimmer broke out the coral Rockaway Times
t-shirts in Ireland because how much green can a place take?! They
look magically delicious. Stateside, Bobby Mulholland and his daugh-
ter looked musically delicious and fit as fiddles in their RT shirts. We
didn’t know there were fiddle camps in Maine (or anywhere else for
that matter) until we were sent this great photo! Father Jim Cunning-
ham and students from St. Francis had a fantastic day at Great Adven-
ture. Rumor has it he didn’t even realize he was wearing his favorite
shirt when this photo was snapped.
Ahoy, Joe ! At first glance, Joe Young of the 100th Precinct Com-
munity Council looks like he’s in Navy whites at the Mystic Seaport,
but it’s the spiffy white RT t-shirt he’s rocking. And keeping with the
maritime theme, an entire crew took over a boat in the British Virgin
Island. John Sattler and friends rocked the full variety of Rock Times
tops. Awesome! Oh, and the Sattler crew left a Rockaway Times t-shirt
hanging in the famous Foxy’s Bar. If you drop in, sign it and take a pic!
