(WBNG) High School students from Sidney Central High School are teaming up to honor healthcare heroes across the Southern Tier.
Sidney Students Against Destructive Decisions will honor two local front line workers as healthcare heroes of the month.
Each month the students will nominate a different healthcare facility and ask the workers to nominate a colleague they feel is particularly heroic.
Kaitlin Bookhout, a senior at Sidney said, These people have been going to work while most of us from March to September were sitting in our homes just waiting. All of these people are going to work risking their lives to save those members of our community, which is what our club is all about; community.
