Middletown – Orange Regional Medical Center was featured on a segment of the Rachael Ray show on Thursday, November 5, 2009. Three new mothers from Orange Regional’s Rowley Family Birthing Center were chosen to receive surprise "new-mom makeovers".
Mary Dulcina Johnson of Port Jervis, Priscilla Reyes of Pine Bush and Maria Licata of Wurtsboro each received special pampering from expert hair stylists and make-up artists. Each new mom also received gorgeous new loungewear, all courtesy of the Rachael Ray show. At the conclusion of each make-over, the new moms had professional photos taken of them with their newborns to remember the special occasion.
Staff members of the Rowley Family Birthing Center spent Friday, October 9th with producers, camera crew and stylists from Rachael Ray’s team as the segment was filmed.
