Nominate your health hero April 12, 2020 16:18 28 Comments

Thank you for doing this. I nominate Charlisa Casey. She’s a nurse at a hospital in the Dallas Fort Worth area working diligently as always to give the best to patients in her care. She’s loving and giving and hard working. She’s thoughtful – she recently bought her toddler nephews (my baby boys) the cutest custom face masks made for their size. She’s the one who needs them most, but she’s still thinking of others.
Also, she loves you guys! She loves sharing all things healthy so she’s taken me and the boys when we visit her on your side of town. True health advocate.
Thanks again! Peace and love. 😊

I would be honored to nominate my sister, Katie Vicari at St. Joseph’s Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. Katie has taken on significant roles in the hospital in the past few weeks due to an increase of COVID cases. She is the most kind hearted and hard working person! A hero!!!!

I nominate Czarina Hounsel, a friend from college. She lives in DFW and is a pediatric ICU nurse in FW. Her son is immune compromised and recently underwent a major heart surgery. She goes to work and then self isolates from her family to keep them safe. With everything going on for her, she dropped everything and took necessities to my grandma. I would love for her to get juices!

I nominate Heather Batts! She is a hard working registered nurse with a very compassionate heart! She always gives to others and helps out everyone that she can and continues to strive for excellence. She’s working at one of the busiest hospitals in Dallas, especially during this time! I give thanks to all nurses, especially her!

I nominate Gretchen Lowery, L&D nurse at Andrews Women’s Hopital/Baylor Scott & White in Ft Worth. Because she’s divorced and wants to protect her kids from a possible COVID-19 exposure, she hasn’t seen her kids in at least a month now. I’d love for her to get an immune boosting juice pack.

I nominate a couple. Je and Irving. Je is a nurse working 12 hour days at Northside hospital. Her boyfriend, Irving is working at Wellstar, testing people for covid-19.

I nominate my brother, Jonathan. He is a nurse at Methodist in Houston and works directly in the covid ward. He’s spent the last month risking his life to help fight this insane pandemic. I know he’s seeing some terrible things everyday, but he still manages to have a sense of humor and make time to connect with the family. He’s amazing. Also – he’s been on Whole30 for a solid 3 years and and is, essentially, the most disciplined person I’ve ever met. Not going to be sending him any chocolates and ice cream, but I know these would make him very happy.

I nominate Ryan Oldenburgh. ICU nurse who is immune compromised himself. Selflessly dedicating himself each and every day. His wife is a nurse too! So grateful for them and everyone else too!
Please send me email so I can send his information privately.

Thanks so much!

I nominate Mitch Box! He’s an RN working equal time in the emergency dept and ICU!

I nominate Lin Lim for printing DIY face shields to make for front line healthcare workers and sewing face masks. Running her 3D printer 24/7 for 3 weeks, paying for all the material herself, paying to ship to areas in need, all while getting a doctorate degree…one of many…home schooling her two children and running several businesses. She’s absolutely amazing and works tirelessly for other!

I would like to nominate Carolyn Martin. My friend is an ER doctor living in Portland, working nights. She then needs to care for her 90 + year old parents when she is off work. Her day is full of patients and needing to take precautions to keep everyone safe. It must be so mentally draining and exhausting.
Please send link/email so I may keep her address private. The hospital group she works for is Peace Health Southwest in Vancouver WA.
Thank you for the lovely way of using your business for so much good.

Thank you so much for recognizing these heroes working tirelessly to provide care for others.

I nominate Margie Haro. She is a surgical tech supporting the Covid Unit at Banner Hospital, Casa Grande, AZ – during the past weeks, her main focus is to assist anesthesiologists to intubate covid-positive patients, in addition to other responsibilities. Margie is a mom to three wonderful daughters, and her decontamination routine when she arrives home is unbelievable yet necessary to keep her daughters healthy. Yesterday, her on-call day, was a 15-hour day in the OR.

I nominate Callie Turner. She is an exceptional neonatal nurse who has picked up extra shifts and shown up to do the work others can’t. Not only in the NICU are these babies fighting for their lives but now with this situation is even more a threat to them. The protocols and hours are intense and stressful. I would love for her to be considered as she is one of my healthcare super hero’s.
Thank you for such a kind deed Brent!
