Archimedes Member Roberta Hall interviewing Ruth Palma on KBOO
Submitted by Matt Webber on Fri, 12/05/2008 - 3:03pm.
Event Description
Archimedes member Roberta Hall will be interviewing nurse practitioner Ruth Palma, who discusses her profession, current problems in the health care system and the need for universal health care.
The interview is part of KBOO's Health and Health Care Forum, radio series that provides a window into today's health care by interviews with diverse people involved in it. One goal of the programs is to help the public expand its horizons about needed changes, and hence reduce fear and increase support as changes are planned.
The show will be aired on KBOO fm radio (90.7 Portland, 91.9 in the Columbia Gorge, and 100.7 in the Willamette Valley) from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Mondays. The program is hosted by Roberta Hall, co-leader of the Corvallis Archimedes chapter and produced by her and Joe Magner of Anabyte Recording and Electronics, Corvallis.
If you enjoy the show, let Kathleen Stephenson know; she is KBOO morning news editor (amnews@kboo.org). The show is also available to community radio stations in other parts of Oregon, who can contact Hall for information (rhall@oregonstate.edu).
