'The Hardest Worker I Know': Mount Kisco Hero

MOUNT KISCO, NY — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we're helping to recognize these everyday heroes.

This submission comes from Katelyn Tooley of Mount Kisco, who nominated her mom, the Director of Clinical Operations and Chief Nursing Operator at CareMount Medical.

Name of the nominee:

Leslie Jackson

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?

My mom is the hardest worker I know. Since the start of this pandemic she never skipped a beat. Being an executive in one of the biggest medical corporations in NY she handled a lot of behind the scene work during these difficult times. Working 7 days a week from about 8:00am to 8:00pm making sure the proper care was being provided to all members of the CareMount community staff and patients. She has been working tirelessly to take care of everyone around her along with her family. Without her I know this transition for her company during these times wouldn’t have been possible.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?

My mom Leslie Jackson is a strong, independent human. She raised two children on her own and that never stopped her from achieving her goals. She works hard and always gives 100 percent. She is a true hero every day.

Thank you for all that you do, Leslie!
