Your Heroes in More Detail compiled by LIZ LONG WHEN WE ASKED READERS TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON THE HEALTH HEROES IN THEIR LIVES, WE KNEW YOU WOULD SHARE INCREDIBLE STORIES. FROM LIFE TO DEATH AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN, THESE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ARE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO OUR EVERYDAY LIVES. With over 80 nominations, it was hard picking only a few to share in full detail. These fifteen, plus an honorable mention, were hand-selected for print. Thank you to our readers for sharing your health hero stories. Nominees are listed in alphabetical order by last name. Some nominators chose to remain anonymous. Stories have been edited for grammar and spacing, but otherwise are exactly as submitted by nominator.
