A Compassionate Doctor: East Brunswick Hero

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — 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 B Patel who nominated Dr. Magdalena Spiewak.

• Name: Dr. Magdalena Spiewak
• State: New Jersey
• Hometown: East Brunswick
• Hero's job: Doctor
• Relationship to nominee: Patient
• Reason for recognition: I’ve never experienced such a compassionate and patient doctor like Dr. Spiewak. During the early days of the coronavirus pandemic she would come in and help patients when her store was closed. I know more than one person that she came in for to help out.
• One thing to know: She is a doctor that goes above and beyond.

Thanks for reading! Do you know about those making a difference? Let us know by filling out the form below, and we'll be happy to share their impact with the rest of the community.
