Laura Goodale Award
Each year, Southold and Greenport Rotary Clubs donate a combined $3000 to Stony Brook ELIH (Eastern Long Island Hospital) at the Laura Goodale Award Dinner. The award is given to honor the dedication and exemplary service of a very deserving healthcare employee who embodies the legacy of Laura Goodale, a former Eastern Long Island Hospital nurse who began working there in 1918. Laura Goodale's 42-year service record as an “unforgettable nurse and caregiver” was so extraordinary it won her recognition as the “Florence Nightingale” of the North Fork.
 
Congratulations to Deborah Boesch-O'Toole, RN, who was selected to receive the 38th Annual Laura Goodale Memorial Award, held at the Townsend Manor Inn on June 13, 2023.
