Hospital X-Ray Technician Called 'Superhero': Patch Heroes

EAST HAVEN, CT — 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've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

This submission comes from Amanda Morale who nominated her friend health care worker Krystina Henderson.

Name of the nominee:
Krystina Henderson

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
X-ray tech

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Krystina will go above and beyond for everyone she cares about.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
She’s just an amazing person. Since this all started she hasn’t batted an eye to help any one single person she could. Working countless hours and having shift changes and working with COVID-positive patients. I don’t think words can tell her how appreciated she is for what she’s doing. She’s a real super hero!
