Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center’s Ann Murdock recently celebrated her 45th anniversary at the hospital. Ann, who has served as Supervisor of Good Sam’s blood bank since the mid 1960s, started at the Medical Center the day it opened in May 1959. Before joining the blood bank division of the laboratory she served as a general medical technologist. In her role as Supervisor, Ann has developed new procedures and techniques and has implemented and maintained a highly specialized computerized information system since 1984.  

With the help and support of her husband, who passed away in 1998, she has raised a daughter, Pamela (who has worked at Good Sam for 15 years) and a son, Scott, and has worked full time for the passed 45 years. In October, she will join an American Transfusion Medicine Team traveling to China for a professional and cultural exchange. Ann stated, “Laboratory medicine has been a very rewarding profession, and has offered many challenges and opportunities. I am pleased that I chose Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center as a place to spend these years of service and hope to continue on this path for the foreseeable future.”

Ann has been a Bay Shore resident for more than 55 years. She has two grandsons, Kevin, 5, and Liam, 18 months.
