Bayside Restaurants Raise Money for Critically Ill and Injured Children at St. Mary's Hospital

Today, local Bayside restaurants will kick off St. Mary’s week to support the children at St. Mary’s Hospital for Children. Nine local restaurants have agreed to donate a portion of their profits this week to the hospital, the state’s largest provider of long-term care for children with complex medical conditions.

“Families come to St. Mary’s in search of the best care possible, which we are proud to provide every single day. Every dollar raised this week will go toward critical care for children with special needs,” said St. Mary’s CEO Eddie Simpser. “We are thrilled that our neighborhood restaurants in Bayside are stepping up to support St. Mary's children.”

As a nonprofit healthcare organization, St. Mary’s provides a continuum of care, treating children across the metropolitan area through a network of inpatient, home care and community programs and services.
