'Saves Lives And Is Fearless': Beaumont Hero

BEAUMONT, CA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

This submission comes from Michael Boothe of Beaumont, who nominated his wife, Kathy Boothe, also of Beaumont:

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
Paramedic

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Kathy puts her heart into her job and truly cares for patients, she works 12 hour shifts 3 on then 4 on with some late calls as well.

Quite often I hear stories of her getting someone's pulse back and saving their life. The only people that know this happened is Kathy and the hospital .

In conclusion Kathy is my hero because she cares for patients, saves lives and is fearless no matter what disease/sickness or symptom anyone has in her ambulance.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Kathy is the hardest working woman I know, she is dedicated to helping her patients get the best care possible and runs her calls daily with accurate paperwork and awesome patient care with extreme speed and efficiency in call volume.

Thank you for all you do, Kathy!
