Pro Soccer Stars Visit Livingston Hospital To Cheer Up Patients, Staff (PHOTOS)

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Some professional soccer stars recently paid a visit to hospitals across North Jersey to brighten up the day for patients and staff, including one in Livingston.

Gotham FC players made a trip to several RWJBarnabas Health hospitals earlier this month, including Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston. The players took time to sign autographs, speak with fans and pose for photos with patients and staff members.

The visitors to Cooperman Barnabas included star winger Midge Purce, the MVP of the 2023 NWSL Championship, energetic midfielder Taryn Torres and head coach Juan Carlos Amoros.

RWJBarnabas Health is the official health care provider of Gotham FC, the New Jersey-based women’s professional soccer team in the NWSL.
