Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Patty commutes to Seton Hospital from Danville to Daly City and works 12 hour shifts 3 to 4 days per week. She works side by side with doctors during intubation of seriously ill covid-19 patients, supporting COVID-19 ICU patients and other duties related to virus infected patients. Never calls in sick and always meets and exceeds her medical responsibilities needed to support the sick and seriously ill patients.

Patty is a loving and dedicated wife, mother of 4, grandmother of 5 and caretaker for those in need of her special skills and talents.
