Community Leader: Beattie 'Puts Love Into Her Work And Community'

HUDSON VALLEY — Without community leaders, the Hudson Valley's towns wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as they do. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from reader Asura Randolph, who nominated her supervisor, Debra Beattie.

Beattie and Randolph work at CoveCare in the PROS department. CoveCare Center provides mental health, substance use, and supportive services for adults, children, families, and seniors. Its mission mission is to partner with individuals, families, and the community to foster hope, wellness, and recovery, and to restore quality of life by addressing mental health needs, substance use, and social and emotional issues.

Patch: What does this community leader do?

Nominator: She does community outreach, therapy with patients, supervise, and puts love into her work and community!

Patch: What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

Nominator: Debra has been a voice for many who cannot vocalize. She is kind, patient, and caring. She goes above and beyond each and every time. She may not think of herself as a hero, but we certainly do :)

Shouting out Community Leaders is simple. Just fill out the simple form below — photos are appreciated — and we’ll do the rest with stories on Patch, so the whole neighborhood can celebrate what makes them special.
