‘Our Strength And Inspiration’: Alameda Hero

ALAMEDA, CA — 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 Terecita Ann Mahoney who nominated Dr. Alka Sharma of Alameda.

Name: Alka Sharma, M.D.

State: CA

Home town: Alameda

Hero's job: Health Care

Relationship to nominee: She is our primary physician

Reason for recognition: Dr. Sharma has been our strength and inspiration since choosing her as our primary physician but during the Covid month she has made herself instantly available whenever any health issues arose.

One thing to know: Dr. Sharma is one of the finest physicians we've met; always takes her time and makes you feel welcome.

Thank you for all you do, Dr. Sharma!
