Works ‘Exclusively With COVID Patients’: Redondo Beach Hero

REDONDO BEACH, 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 Jane Schmidt who nominated her son Simon P. Schmidt.

Name: Simon P. Schmidt

State: CA

Home town: Redondo Beach

Hero's job: Health Care

Relationship to nominee: He is my son

Reason for recognition: Simon has worked almost exclusively with COVID patients in ICU for the whole time since it started. Never a complaint.

One thing to know: Simon is a giver. He does whatever he can to make life better for all with whom he comes in contact. His wife is in medical care as well and has worked with COVID patients as well. If you have Simon caring for you, you are truly cared for.

Thank you for all you do, Simon!
