She's Always a Doctor, On And Off The Clock: Forest Hills Hero

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. We’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Annie Siu who nominated Dr. Suzanne Bentley of Forest Hills.

Bentley is a Chief Wellness Officer, Emergency physician at NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst, Director of Simulation Innovation and Research for the NYC Health + Hospitals health system, and an Associate Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine and Medical Education at the Icahn SOM at Mount Sinai.

Bentley helped organize drives to provide N95 masks, protective gowns, gloves, coffee machines, snacks, meals and more to Elmhurst Hospital.

Thank you for all you do, Dr. Suzanne Bentley!
