NEW CITY, NY – We remember a Rockland County Hero – Pamela Orlando

ER Nurse Pamela Orlando, 56 of New City, worked to treat coronavirus patients at Valley Hospital (Ridgewood, NJ) until she became one herself, and then documented her fight with the virus until she died on April 16, 24 days after she fell ill.

One of her sons, Reid, said he begged his mother not to go to work, but she continued to fight on the front lines. CBS News’ David Begnaud profiled Orlando and shared her story.

Orlando, was described as a selfless hero, and the hardest-working person in the hospital. The single mom worked 60 hours a week as an ER nurse at Valley Hospital to support her two boys: Reid and Ryan.

Pamela Ann Orlando of New City, NY passed away on Thursday, April 16, 2020 at the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ. She was 56. Pam was born on November 16, 1963 in Suffern, NY.

We will never forget your sacrifice, and our deepest condolences and prayers are with the Orlando family.
