When the staff at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital was challenged to a "dance break" two weeks ago by a sister hospital on the North Fork, they rose to the challenge. The result? An uplifting, energetic, three-minute video that has been posted on YouTube, gathering nearly 4,000 views in the last two days.
Everyone donned masks for the challenge, in which nurses, doctors, aides, technicians, and other employees moved to the song "I Got This Feeling" by Justin Timberlake. Most of it was shot outdoors, though some of the staff got their groove on in the hospital hallways.
Even Robert Chaloner, the hospital's chief operating officer, can be seen dancing in the video. A link to it is here.
It was Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital in Greenport that had issued the challenge. "And it felt good!" Stony Brook Southampton said in its YouTube post.
