TODAY Gives Cherry Hill Physician Assistant A Mother's Day Makeover

NEW YORK — NBC's TODAY Show received plenty of deserving candidates when the program asked viewers to nominate moms in their lives for a Mother's Day makeover. But ultimately, a physician assistant for a Cherry Hill medical practice stood out and received the nod.

Susan Fitzgerald — nominated by her mother, Rosemary Fitzgerald — works at the Cooper Neurological Institute. When Susan was 38, she surprised everyone by announcing she'd become a single mom by choice, Rosemary said.

Normally wearing black scrubs, Susan Fitzgerald tends to put her energy toward her children, her mother says. That made her a perfect candidate for the Mother's Day makeover.

Ultimately, TODAY invited two mothers for the head-to-toe transformation in New York. When makeovers were complete, they went to the TODAY studio to see their children's reactions.
