Ana Wilkinson is an emergency room nurse from San Diego who has spent the last year traveling to some of the hardest-hit communities in the U.S.
At each stop, she became known as the “dancing nurse,” as she did her best to keep a smile on her face while dancing and also putting smiles on the faces of her patients.
Her last stop was in Texas, where she was on the front lines for about seven weeks. Things improved there to the point where Ana was no longer needed, so she planned her next move … a surprise homecoming trip, back to San Diego.
