SBU DPT Shines at APTANY Access to Health Event at Dick's Sporting Goods
Our event grew in its 2nd year. Overall 65 individuals (ages 2-80) participated in balance and endurance assessments . We discussed health concerns (including fall risk and safety optimization in the home) and educated about health and exercise questions. Finally, we educated the community about the PT Profession and American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Participants received giveaways from APTANY including pens, theraband and eyeglass cleaning cloths, SBU DPT Program pens, and stickers, and a shopping coupon provided by Dick's Sporting Goods. Thanks to our DPT Students and one PTA student from Suffolk Community College that made the event possible.

On Saturday, October 4th, more than 300 people came together at the Stony Brook Student Union for “Anthony’s Red Shoe FUNd Run”, to support the construction of the new $30M Ronald McDonald House at Stony Brook Children's Hospital (https://www.rmhcnym.org/anthony-petrocelli-tribute/). Members of the community laced up their shoes to take part in the 5K Run/Walk to raise funds alongside 65 Stony Brook DPT faculty and student racers and volunteers. Named after Dr. Lisa Muratori's nephew, Anthony, who received care for two years at Stony Brook before passing away at age 16 from Ewing's Sarcoma, this annual event includes food, game and prizes and is open to everyone.
The 60,000 square foot Ronald McDonald House will allow families receive no-cost housing, respite, meals and hospitality just across the street from their child’s bedside. It will include 30 private bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms for families, a media center, outdoor playground, interactive playrooms, community kitchens and more. The Ronald McDonald House staff and volunteers will provide meals for families throughout their stay as well as fully stocked pantries, a fitness center, meditation room and laundry facilities. This will be the first Ronald McDonald House located in Suffolk County, and only the second on Long Island. It is scheduled to open in 2026.
