HUNTINGTON, NY — John Cronin, co-founder of John's Crazy Socks, donated more than 100 pairs of socks to health care workers at Huntington Hospital on Tuesday, according to a news release from the hospital.

Cronin's gesture was that of appreciation after the staff of Huntington Hospital treated him for the coronavirus disease. Cronin, 24, who has Down syndrome, arrived at the hospital on Christmas morning with low oxygen levels and full-blown pneumonia from COVID-19.

Dr. John Anderson and nurse Patricia Coffey began treating Cronin with an aggressive regimen of high-flow oxygen, steroids, Remdisivir, antibiotics and a blood thinner. Cronin began to recover after several days of treatment. He was discharged a week later on New Year's Day.
