'She Stepped Up To Cover Shifts': Murrieta Hero

MURRIETA, 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 Rain Rosilez of Winchester, who nominated Angel Rosilez, also of Winchester:

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

What does the nominee do for work?:
She's a nurse at the country jail, as well as an NP for a hospice company.

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
When COVID started impacting her workplace, she stepped up to cover shifts to make sure the patients had staff members to take care of their health. She logged 152 hours in a two-week period at the jail alone during the beginning phase. She continues to make calls for her NP position, as well.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Angel fights to make sure her patients at the jail are given proper medical treatment. She is willing to step up in a time of crisis to make sure things are running smoothly and that people are cared for.

Thank you for all you do, Angel!
