Jacksonville, Fl — She has been on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic for more than a year. Dr. Pauline Rolle with the Duval County Health Department says her grandmother’s influence helped to prepare her for the challenge of a global pandemic.
“One of the things she said to me when I talked about missionary work around the world, she said to me, ‘why is it everyone wants to leave the United States to do missionary work? There’s missionary work right here in your own community.’”
