On Tuesday, May 26, radio station WLNG 92.1 FM stopped by Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital (SBELIH) in their Rolling Roadcaster Bus for a dance break to show their appreciation for the hospital’s healthcare heroes.
The WLNG bus sported a banner reading “WHERE THE ‘G’ STANDS FOR GRATITUDE” while playing Andrew Gold’s “Thank You For Being A Friend” at 7pm. Gary Sapiane, radio personality and General Manager of WLNG emceed the event alongside Caretaker, Program Director, and Chief Meteorologist of WLNG, Bill Evans.
“You’re heroes!” said New York State Assembly Member Anthony H. Palumbo, who also made an appearance to honor SBELIH’s essential workers. “A round of applause for all of you; thank you for all your great work.”
