ICU Nurse At Temecula Valley Hospital: Local Hero

TEMECULA, 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 Kristopher Contino of Temecula who nominated his wife, Alesha:

Name: Alesha Contino

Hero's job: Health Care

Relationship to nominee: My wife

Reason for recognition: Alesha is an ICU Nurse at Temecula Valley Hospital. She is working hard to help others get better, especially from COVID-19. She has come close to getting COVID-19 herself. She comes home exhausted from working all night. I respect what she does.

One thing to know: Alesha is a hard worker, good at what she does and enjoys helping others.

Thank you for all you do, Alesha!
