'Dedicated Clinician, Husband, and Father': Arlington Hero

ARLINGTON, VA — 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 Khyati Desai-Seltzer who nominated her husband Jordan Seltzer of Arlington.

Name: Jordan Seltzer

Home town: Arlington

Hero's job: Mental Health Clinician LICSW

Relationship to nominee: Spouse

Reason for recognition: There are so many unsung heroes during this pandemic not the least of which are social service workers that couldn't self-quarantine. Jordan works for the local jail as a mental health clinician for inmates and their families.

One thing to know: He is a committed and dedicated clinician, husband, and father, who respects all people no matter their circumstances.

Thank you for all you do, Jordan Seltzer!
