BIG NEWS! Your Health Care:Choice or Chance? is now on the radio. It airs every Sunday morning at 10 o'clock on the award-winning station WATD, 95.9 F.M, in Marshfield, Massachusetts. Your Health Care: Choice or Chance? can be heard on the South Shore, Cape Cod and the Islands, New Bedford, Quincy, Randolph, Brockton, parts of Boston, and parts of New Hampshire. It's a call-in program so phone in with your questions at (781)837-4900. You can also listen to the radio show on the Internet on Sundays at 10 in the morning by logging on to www.959WATD.com and clicking "Listen Live".

Upcoming programs include The Nursing Crisis, with Sandy Eaton, R.N, Quincy Medical Center, and Vice-Chair, Mass.

ACLU; and Women's Health Reform with Catherine Delorey, President and CEO of the Women's Health Institute.

Your Health Care:Choice or Chance? is now being produced at two public access TV stations: Mashpee Community TV and Watertown Community TV. Many thanks to Jeff Clough and Tamarah Green.

Many, many thanks also to Burlington Community Access Television for its strong support. BCAT has spent countless hours helping me dub Your Health Care:Choice or Chance? DVD's and tapes so that they can be distributed. Kudos to Jennifer Dodge, Tricia Hicks, Tia Buono, and Corey McNeil.

Many thanks to the Mass. Nurses Association for its strong support and its sponsorship of the radio show. Also, thanks to the many individual donors who believe in the series.

At present I am working hard to bring "Your Health Care: Choice or Chance?" to a wide commercial audience. The goal is to produce the show on commercial cable television; to develop seminars on navigating the health system, and to write a book on this topic. If you know anyone I should contact about this project, please let me know.

"Your Health Care: Choice or Chance?" is looking for pro bono help in public relations and fundraising. It is also looking for volunteers for the tech crew. Please email me with ideas.
