'Extremely Kind And Compassionate' Nurse: Huntington Local Hero

HUNTINGTON, NY — 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 Michael Marolda, who nominated Christina Stubbolo of Huntington.

Name:
Christina Stubbolo

State:
NY

Hometown:
Huntington

Hero's job:
Health Care

Relationship to nominee:
Girlfriend

Reason for recognition:
Finished #1 in Drexel's Accelerated Nursing program. Moved back home to Huntington and got her first job as a night nurse at Northwell LIJ, just before COVID-19. Works countless nights, never complains, and had it way worse than the documentaries show.

One thing to know:
She is extremely kind and compassionate. Makes all of her patients feel like they are appreciated and loved in such a difficult time. Tina is not only my favorite person, but one of those on the front lines truly making a difference.

Thank you for all you do, Christina!
