Betty Matteson is Tuesday’s Hometown Hero.

According to Cindy Clark from the UNC Wellness Center, Betty is the heartbeat of cardiac rehab.

Betty works largely behind the scenes, but the staff at UNC Wellness Center relies on her hard work and skills.

She plans to retire and has worked tirelessly to improve her department.
