Temecula Dentist Reaches Out During Pandemic: 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 Wendy who nominated Dr. Hangin Cho:

Name: Hangin Cho, DDS

Home town: Temecula

Hero's job: Health Care

Relationship to nominee: I work for him.

Reason for recognition: Dr. Cho made sure that all emergency patients seen in our office during COVID-19 had a face mask to take home as well as a bottle of sanitizer. He even had me take N95 equivalent masks to local dental offices, to make sure they would be able to operate.

One thing to know: Dr. Cho genuinely cares about people and wants to help them in anyway he can.

Thank you for all you do, Dr. Cho!
