'Caring And Compassionate': Clark Hero

CLARK, 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 Lisa Loria of Clark, who nominated her coworker for the past 16 years at Robert Wood Johnson Rahway Hospital Theresa Dobbin of Clark:

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:

Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
ICU/CCU Registered Nurse

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Theresa is an exceptional nurse. She is a hard worker and always puts the patients and their families first. I am always happy when I’m working with Theresa because I know that I have someone who will always lend a hand during critical times in the ICU! She is a team player always. She never hesitates to make sure things are going smoothly and that her patients and families are comforted and always there during critical decision making for their family member. I am honored to work with her and especially during this pandemic.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Caring and compassionate RN, colleague and friend

Thank you for all you do, Theresa!
