Penelope Hsu

Penelope Hsu is a board certified, practicing pediatrician. She is also a certified professional coach and professional actor. Her current practice includes clinical pediatric care as well as a cultivated list of private coaching and organizational clients.   She teaches physicians how to find work-life balance and medical teams how to build a supportive work culture. Her particular interest is in bringing practical strategies and tools to the medical and Asian American communities so that they can prevent burnout, thrive in their lives, and enjoy longevity, happiness,  and success in their careers. 

Her love of St John's Episcopal Hospital has been nurtured for over 20 years. Penelope's residency training at LIJ (now Northwell) placed her at St John's for her continuity clinic. Throughout the 3 years of her training, Penelope spent one day a week as well as month-long blocks caring for patients in the Rockaway community,  and being mentored by the caring and thoughtful attendings in the pediatric department.  The lessons she learned about leadership, teamwork, collaboration and compassionate care have stayed with her throughout her career. St John's has always held a special place in her heart and she was beyond motivated to help support the frontline workers at St. John's during the height of Covid by providing PPE and intubations boxes.
