This is my husband John brown. He is one of the security officers for monument health. He is my hero because he goes to work everyday and protects our nurses and doctors and helps with the transport of patients to where they need to go. Even the deceased patients who have passed from anything including the COVID 19 virus. He is in constant contact, along with the nurses and doctors, with anyone who come in that is sick of any kind of virus or disease.
