Radiology Tech Cares For Strangers Like Family: Bel Air Hero

BEL AIR, MD — 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 Linda Davis, who nominated her daughter, a radiology tech at Upper Chesapeake Medical Center.

Name: Leah Michelle Kaye

Hometown: Bel Air

Hero's job: Health Care

Reason for recognition: She works as a radiology tech at Upper Chesapeake Hospital. She has seen many, many COVID-19 patients since she takes x-rays. In spite of the threat to her own health and life, she works tirelessly with compassion and professionalism in whatever she does.

One thing to know: She cares for strangers the way she would care for her family.

Thank you for all you do, Leah!
