Rockville Centre, NY - October 21, 2016 - More than 600 seniors citizens turned out for Senator Todd Kaminsky’s 2016 Golden Gathering, a health fair that offered free flu vaccinations, blood pressure screenings, and seniors ID cards, among a variety of other helpful resources from local community organizations. Residents also had a chance to meet Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul who joined the Senator at the event.
“Ensuring that senior citizens have access to health and community services is essential,”
said Senator Kaminsky. “Today, we did just that and more. I certainly hope residents have walked away with information and resources that will keep them healthy and improve their quality of life. I’d like to thank everyone who helped make today’s event possible, and Lieutenant Governor Hochul for joining us.”
"Governor Cuomo and I are committed to making sure that the more than 3 million seniors in the State of New York are able to live independently and find support when they need assistance," said Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul. "I commend Senator Kaminsky for hosting today's event and bringing essential services directly to Long Island seniors."
“Our seniors play a significant role in our community and ensuring that they have the resources available locally to help them age better is critical,” commented Mayor Francis X. Murray. “I encourage our senior citizens and their families to take advantage of this free program to access health care and medical services to help them stay healthy.”
Senator Kaminsky extends his thanks to all of the local organizations and business that graciously donated their time and resources to make this such a successful event.
