Today’s Hero

Ann Marie Aranda – June 22, 2022

              Today’s Hero is Ann Marie Aranda of Laurel. Ann joined CHEER in June 2021 as a Direct Care Worker in the Personal Assistance Services Agency.  Her job is to assist seniors in their homes with their activities of daily living. Recently, that assistance turned into a life-or-death incident.

              Recently, Ann went to service her client. She found the female senior in a confused state with no energy.  She checked the lady’s vital signs and then called 911 for an ambulance. She was taken to Bayhealth emergency room and it was discovered that the client had a third degree heart blockage. The senior received a pace maker to help her heart pump a better rhythm.

              Thank you Ann for your quick attention in getting the senior the medical attention she needed.
