Heidi Pinard's kindness and quick-thinking was cited in her nomination for the State Employee of the Month.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services office in Stockton nominated Pinard for her recent efforts with a specific client as an example of her everyday work.

An elderly World War II veteran was living in a shack without plumbing and unable to properly care for himself.

Pinard's compassion and life-saving effort helped him to be placed in a proper environment, where he is safe, comfortable and his needs are met, the nomination said.

The selection was made by a six-member committee comprised of Missouri State Training Advisory Council members.
