Everyday Heroes
From those on the frontline, to those behind the scenes. Heroes are ordinary people in extraordinary times. Who pull us together when life pushes us apart. And when heroes are helping the world, we're with them. Because together we make life better.
Dr. Henry Paul: MediNova - Helping Those Who Need it most
Dr. Henry Paul practices medicine in New York City, and this spring has been a particularly challenging time. He is a nephrologist who has patients that suffer with injury and disease to their kidneys and it has been a stressful time for so many patients who are dealing with COVID-19. While Dr. Paul has kept a close watch on his patients’ well-being, he has also focused his attention on a clinic in Haiti built by NOAH NY d/b/a MediNova, the charitable organization he leads. As the disease moves through Haiti, he continues to work tirelessly to see that the clinic is properly equipped and that the clinicians are prepared to take on the challenges the pandemic has brought. Dr. Paul is an everyday hero!
Alma D. Seda: March of Dimes - Advocate for Families in Puerto Rico
Alma D. Seda made a difference to hundreds of new moms in Puerto Rico. There was a fear of a power outage due to the heightened equipment use and electrical needs for the COVID-19 crisis. To conserve energy, new moms in the hospital could not use electric breast pumps. As executive director of The March of Dimes in Puerto Rico, Alma asked Philips to help address the issue for moms. Working together we were able to deliver manual breast pumps to all the NICU units on the island and keep the newborns together with their moms. Alma’s focus on families and attention to detail made all the difference. Alma is an everyday hero!
