Office boss helps fund new pediatric unit

Mercy Medical Center, located at Rockville Centre, Long Island, dedicated its new Pediatric Express Care Unit to Angela Swenson Burke. Ms Burke is the late mother of Lane Office CEO Gregory F. Burke who donated $25,000 to help fund the new facility. Burke made the donation after being impressed with the quality of care given to his mother by Mercy’s medical and nursing staff. The expansion of the Pediatric Express Care program is part of Mercy’s ongoing effort to address the needs of under-served communities, including individuals and families who may not have a personal physician.
