Nurse Goes 'Above And Beyond': La Mesa Hero

LA MESA, CA — 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 Ronald Falls, who nominated his friend, Bobbie Bass of La Mesa.

Name: Bobbie Bass

Reason for recognition: As a licensed vocational nurse working in a nursing home, where there have been numerous cases of COVID-19, she continues to go to work to help the elderly patients
there.
