Description

BAY SHORE, NY — 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. Together with Ring, we're working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories. This submission comes from Vanessa Bathgate, who nominated her daughter-in-law Dr. Sha Yan, of Bay Shore. Yan works an emergency medical doctor and has been on the front lines of the pandemic. Bathgate describes her as "a caring, gentle soul." Thank you for all you do Dr. Sha Yan! >> Do you have a local hero you would like us to know about? Share their story here.
