Plainfield Hero Puts Herself At Risk For Her Patients

PLAINFIELD, IL — As the popular adage goes, heroes don't always wear a cape. But when times are tough, they 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.

Robin Kwasniewski

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
She is putting herself at risk with not just patients that have had the virus, but now seeing patients that still have the virus. She goes to the patients houses to help them get stronger as they have gone through the virus or are going through the virus. This gives the patient the ability to stay home and still get the care they need to get stronger. I am very proud of my daughter to have the personality and strength to put her own health at risk for others.

Thank you for all you do, Tiffany!
