'A True Hero, An Amazing Nurse': 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 Rose Tarantino of Clark, who nominated her coworker Lisa Loria of Clark:

Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
ICU RN

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
She went above and beyond during this crisis, made patients last minutes comfortable and they were never alone! She treated all her co-workers with respect, even during the craziest times! A true hero, an amazing nurse. She has cared for my family before this all started and made us all comfortable!

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Amazing

Thank you for all you do, Lisa Loria!
