CLIFTON SPRINGS, N.Y. (WROC) — Ehren Strohm, Dixie Kendall, and Sam Vitale all work at Clifton Springs Medical Center, and they are on a mission. “I’m very passionate about helping others,” Vitale said. “My mother was an LPN. She was active working when I was little, so that made me be want to be a nurse,” Kendall said. Each of them got into the medical field with a desire to help others. But, each of them also shares something else now, the trauma of being attacked by a patient while in the ER.
