Bridgewater Hero, Nurse 'Puts Her Health At Risk' For Others

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — 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 Christopher Hug of Bridgewater, who nominated his wife Christine Hug of Bridgewater:

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

What does the nominee do for work?:
Registered Nurse

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
She is on the front lines putting her own health at risk with two young children at home.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
She and all other nurses are the main front lines to everything health-related and day after day they play these important roles with little acknowledgement until after they are needed. Just an important thing to keep in mind.

Thank you for all you do, Christine!
