'Helped Me In Every Way Possible': Beachwood Hero

BEACHWOOD, OH — 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 Nancy who nominated Gary Colvard, who helped her during her stay in a medical facility in Beachwood.

Name: Gary Colvard

Hero's job: Cook

Reason for recognition: Being a patient in a hospital, you don’t believe you can get the best treatment even from the COOK. He helped me in every way possible, amazing.

Thank you for all you do, Gary Colvard!
