Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, New York, the flagship hospital of the Bon Secours Charity Health System, has selected the R&J Group of Parsippany, New Jersey as its advertising and public relations agency-of-record.

For Good Samaritan, R&J is developing integrated communications programs that include print, out-of-home, and television advertising, in tandem with a proactive public relations campaign.
