Donna Dibenedetto, RN
One of my nurse managers, Donna Dibenedetto, RN, asked how she could help at our sister hospital, Mount Sinai Brooklyn, which has been hit hard. On her own time and on a Saturday, Donna arrived at the hospital. The Human Resources lead asked her what she wanted to do to help, as a manager. Donna said, “I’ll do anything.” She immediately went to the Emergency Department and assisted nurses and patients. She cleaned patients, disinfected stretchers, assisted in codes, and much more. Although Donna shared how hard it was there, she went back on Sunday. Donna is a true hero to me and demonstrates this every day. I am so proud to have her as part of my team.
