'She's A Great Nurse That Loves Her Job': 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 Michele Baldi of Cherry Valley, who nominated her friend since childhood, Olivia Sanchez of Beaumont:

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

What does the nominee do for work?:
NICU Nurse

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
She has worked very hard to get to where she is at. She’s a great nurse, that loves her job. The care and compassion she gives to her patients/babies is exactly what a parent wants to know their child is receiving.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Through this quarantine she puts herself at a higher exposure risk, attending work daily to help provide needed care.

Thank you for all you do, Olivia!
