HOMETOWN HERO
BY MARYANN KETCHAM

|
|
Michael Mesley of Vero Beach is accustomed to working long shifts as a Radiology/CT Scan Technician for Cleveland Clinic Vero Radiology. As a veteran of the United States Navy, he is committed to doing all he can to support his community. Now, he once again finds himself on the front line searching for the enemy, in this case, COVID 19. “Despite the risk he and all of our healthcare heroes are facing, Michael’s focus is always on providing positive and thoughtful patient care,” said wife Stacey Watson-Mesley, “he leaves each day with more determination to be helpful to others.” Due to HIPAA regulations, he does not share much of his recent work experiences with anyone, and that can't be easy. But he is combat-ready and focused on his role in helping patients as our country works to defeat the voronavirus. "He has a strict and solid disinfectant routine each night, a positive attitude and a strong faith in God so each day he works hard to bring that kind energy to the patients that he meets.”
