As the storm raged and for several days beyond—without power or water—Kerri worked tirelessly, sometimes overnight, to ensure the health and well-being of those in shelters and those most affected by the storm. In the weeks and months that followed, Kerri and the other members of the Public Health Mobile Team visited communities across Buncombe County to offer vaccines, information, and resources to those in need. Her dedication went far beyond her required role as she provided comfort, care, and stability during one of our community’s most trying times. Kerri continues to stand by the people of our community, offering support to those still facing the long-term trauma of the storm. Thank you Kerri for being a true hero!
