Flushing Hospital saw hundreds in attendance at the annual Three Kings event.
The holiday season was filled with joy and generosity at Jamaica and Flushing Hospital Medical Center. Many organizations and community leaders stopped by both hospitals to spread goodwill.
Flushing Hospital staff collaborated with community leader Martha Flores- Vasquez to host the annual Three Kings event in the Main Auditorium. Over 500 children and their parents were in attendance. They were entertained by dancers and singers and given toys which were collected and donated by Healthfirst and the New York City Police Department’s 109th Precinct. Community leaders including Peter Tu, Councilman Peter Koo and Congresswoman Grace Meng also attended the event and showed their support by participating in the festivities.
Jamaica Hospital’s Pediatrics Unit received a visit from NYC DOC Commissioner Joseph Ponte and officers.
At Jamaica Hospital, community organizations and leaders including the Knights of Columbus, Senator Joe Addabbo, the Greater Ridgewood Youth Council and the New York City Department of Corrections as well as staff from the hospital brought a bounty of toys for the children on the Pediatric Unit and those visiting the Pediatric Emergency Room. Additionally, staff from Southwest Airlines treated our little ones to a story time event where they read holiday books to an eager group.
All of these acts of kindness were greatly appreciated. We thank everyone for their contribution in making the holiday season very special and unforgettable.
