(New Rochelle, NY) — For the eighth consecutive year, Sound Shore Medical Center (SSMC) will be present at Mayfair – this year as the exclusive sponsor. SSMC’s staff will provide life-saving healthcare information and screenings for this annual event, scheduled for Saturday, May 5 from Noon – 6:00 PM (Rain Date: Sunday, May 6 from Noon to 6:00 PM). This season, Playland will have free Spectator Admissions available for Westchester residents. This means residents of the County with valid identification, who do not wish to participate in rides, can enter the park free of charge.
Now in its 42nd year, Mayfair marks the pre-season opening of Playland in Rye, New York. This much-anticipated day features the excitement of Westchester County’s landmark park along with vendor booths featuring jewelry, artwork, crafts and more. In addition to the much-loved amusements, scores of individuals can enjoy the other highlights of the day, including hourly raffles for gift cards, giveaways and a wealth of healthcare information and screenings.
Sound Shore Medical Center staff will host stations where Mayfair attendees can obtain lifesaving information on stroke prevention, heart attack warning signs, nutritional facts, safety and much more. Voluntary blood pressure screenings and diabetes risk assessments will be available – just two of the many offerings that have the potential for saving lives.
John R. Spicer, commenting on the event said, “As a not-for-profit hospital, SSMC is committed to community outreach, and the Mayfair event is a perfect opportunity to take lifesaving information and screenings to the public – where they live and play.”
